REASONS TO SAVE WRESTLING AT MOORPARK COLLEGE

Oldest sport in the history of civilization.
A true amateur sport – The sport is final after the completion of college.
Longest running sport in the 41 year history of Moorpark College – started when the college opened in 1967.
The program has won 5 CCCAA State titles and 27 conference championships – the most successful sport in the history of Moorpark College.
This is the only community college program from Cuesta College (San Luis Obispo) to East Los Angeles College – over 200 radius miles. We need to service our students. Every high school in our district and contiguous districts offer the sport of wrestling. We will not be servicing the students in our district.
A highly diverse sport across the spectrum. The diversity also includes body size. The sport allows all sizes to compete.
The sport is the third highest participatory sport at the high school level in the nation.
The Moorpark College program has always stressed education first and the sport second. High graduation and transfer rate.
Moorpark College wrestling alumni – there are hundreds and hundreds of success stories over the 41 year history – Doctors; Attorneys; Professors; Educators; Coaches; and Businessmen.
This is a very inexpensive sport when you compare it to the value it has brought to this county and community - changing character, behavior and life for the good.
There are 25 wrestlers already registered and ready to start college and practice on Monday, August 17th – what do you tell these young men?
