CSDR Community,

We are very proud to share our accomplishments with CSDR wrestling team. Before the season began we, the coaches, discussed goals we wanted the team to accomplish after being out of wrestling for 3 years. At the end of the discussion, we agreed on these: a winning record, qualifying for CIF-SS playoffs, and preparing CSDR wrestlers for post-secondary competition such as collegiate, Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), and Deaflympics wrestling.

At the end of the season, CSDR wrestling team’s final record is 3-3 and we placed second in Arrowhead League. Our team qualified for CIF-SS Team Playoffs and 9 out of 11 CSDR wrestlers also qualified for CIF-SS Individual playoffs.  They competed well at CIF-SS tournament at Roosevelt High School in Corona and although they failed to advance to the next level, they earned valuable experience to prepare themselves for their next wrestling season.

We recently hosted an awards banquet where participation certifications for each wrestler and CIF-SS Regional participation certificates (for those who qualified) were given. We had two distinguished awards to present: Scholar-Athlete Award for academic excellence during the wrestling season, and Coach’s Award for dedication to wrestling.  We are pleased to announce that the recipients were Juan Flores for Scholar-Athlete Award and Jules Lange for Coach’s Award. Juan Flores maintained a high GPA during the wrestling season and Jules Lange earned the award for being an outstanding athlete who showed an intense passion for this sport.

We must emphasize AGAIN how proud we are of these gentlemen. Please send your congratulations to CSDR wrestlers.

We are very pleased to announce that CSDR will have an elementary/middle school wrestling club this year. They will participate at a local Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) wrestling . If you’d like more  information, please contact Nancy Moore at [email protected].

We believe that the key to  success is COMMUNITY SUPPORT and we want to thank you all for being great fans! See you all during 2012-13 wrestling season!
