Dr. Bill Bettis has made wrestling visible and important for over 25 years.

The Bettis Poll, created in the early 1990s was the official ranking system for high school wrestling for over 20 years. 

He was also on the Board of Directors for the Oregon Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame for 23 years. 

His mounted photos of Oregonians who were Olympians, World placers, national champions and more have been displayed for thousands to enjoy over the years, preserving our Oregon history of the greatest sport. 

The Bettis Poll and the historical photograph displays that Dr. Bettis created helped keep wrestling relevant and important before social media existed. 

One of the biggest joys was opening up the mail as a head coach and receiving 10 5 x 7 photos of your wrestlers from the previous weekend where Bill was taking photos matside. He always shared those photos to help you build your program. 

Dr Bettis is a retired dentist who has lived most of his life in Roseburg, Oregon.
