"I'm excited to see the Pacific Northwest, and I'm looking forward to the support from the program," Gray told Taylor Miller of USA Wrestling. "Oregon State is making big moves and investing in women, and it's awesome to feel wanted and feel like others value you. RTC programs have been funding men for a long time now, and it's exciting that women now get to benefit from that and the coaching resources."

Last month, two-time world bronze medalist Alyssa Lampe joined the Beaver Dam RTC roster. Other members of the Beaver Dam RTC include Isaiah Martinez and Mike Kosoy.
"We are excited to add five-time World champion and Olympian Adeline Gray to the Beaver Dam RTC," Oregon State assistant coach Nate Engel said. "One big thing that Head Coach Chris Pendleton wanted to have when he got to Corvallis was an inclusive RTC, supporting all the international styles. We want to have the best athletes here in Corvallis training to win World and Olympic medals. Adeline is one of the biggest advocates in our sport, and I have had the pleasure of working with Adeline for the last year and half and it's been a lot of fun. To be able to have her around our student athletes and share her knowledge is priceless. We can't wait to help her achieve her goal of becoming an Olympic champion."
