PRESEASON SCHEDULE

     Our preseason season conditioning schedule and preseason tournament schedule can be found in the calendar link listed above.  If you have not turned in your athletic physical paperwork to Coach Ellis in the training room please do so ASAP.  Also all wrestlers not playing football are strongly encouraged to see Coach Clark or Coach Mathews about running Cross Country.  Make sure you are doing everything you can to be prepared for tryouts on October 27th.

 

2008 OFF SEASON RECAP

     Two weeks after the 2008 FHSAA state tournament our 30 of our returning high school wrestlers got back on the mat by joining the Westside Wrestling Club.  Our club competed in tournaments at Deltona, St Cloud, Lake Howell, Oviedo, Osceola, Palm Bay, Brandon, Lakeland and Coral Glades.  Some guys competed in more tournaments then others and that experience will pay off for them this year.  After the end of the school year the team remained busy with summer workouts running through late July.  We also had a 2 week clinic series ran by Three Time FHSAA State Champion and current Lehigh University wrestler Brandon Hatchett.  After taking a few weeks off before the school reopened many of our guys are champing at the bit to get back at the mat.

     Coach Ciero ran a very successful season for the Westsdie Wrestling Club youth level.  We saw tremendous growth with 25 wrestlers ages 7 - 13 joining our kids program throughout the Spring and Summer.  Many of these youngsters got out and competed at several tournaments as well and they showed everyone the face of the future of Bear Wrestling.  Our youth program will start back up the first of December; contact Coach Gomrad for more information: scottgomrad@yahoo.com

 

FLORIDA PRIDE TEAM CAMP HUGE SUCCESS
    
     Coach Ciero and I were very excited to take 15 wrestlers to our team camp in early June.  This was the largest group we have brought out over the past three summers. They participated in three 2 hour technique sessions each day and also competed in several dual meets.  In addition we got in a lot of extra live wrestling against some of the best kids in the state as well as several college wrestlers during the open mat time each night.  Great job to everyone that stepped up and made the trip to camp:

-Alex Curley, 12th Grade
-Nick Benante, 12th Grade
-Alex Backer, 12th Grade
-Cody Hall, 12th Grade
-Matt Nereim, 11th Grade
-Brent Basich, 11th Grade
-David Hanley, 11th Grade
-Kyle Padilla, 10th Grade
-Chris Maxwell, 10th Grade
-Kyle Gach, 10th Grade
-Ryan Petro, 10th Grade
-Austin Hoover, 10th Grade
-Cole Morgan, 10th Grade
-Areil Serrano, 10th Grade
-Eric O'Neill, 9th Grade

Also a big thanks to everyone that helped get us to the camp:
Mr. Morgan, Mrs. Basich, Mrs. Padilla, Mrs.Gach and Mr. Nereim.

 

MATT NEREIM BECOMES AN ALL AMERICAN

     In July Matt Nereim placed 3rd in the Nation at the Cadet Greco Roman National Championships in Fargo North Dakota in the 135lb weight division.  It is the first
time is his career that he has achieved All American status and he becomes only the second wrestler from Winter Springs High School to place at the USA Wrestling National Championships. In 2006 Brandon Hatchett finished 4th in the 152lb weight class.

     His road to glory wasn't an easy one as Nereim lost a very close match early in the tournament to a multiple time national champ from Nebraska.  Then with his back
up against the wall and another loss meaning elimination he showed tremendous resolve and perseverance on the national stage.  Matt stepped up big time ripping off seven straight victories against some of the top 135lb wrestlers in the country.  One by one State Champions and State Place Winners from Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Idaho, Arizona and Virginia all fell at the hands of Nereim.

     In late June Nereim competed at the Cadet National Duals in Kansas City Missouri.  He recorded 15 wins and 2 losses against some of the best competition in the country.  Nereim had the second highest win total and the most technical falls out of everyone on Team Florida's 22 man roster.

     Matt Nereim is an incoming Junior and was the FHSAA State runner-up last season in 125lb weight class.  He also excels in the classroom carrying a 3.35 grade point average exemplifying what Winter Springs Wrestling is all about.

 

SENIOR ALEX CURLEY COMPETES AT NATIONAL DUALS

     Alex Curley has had an awesome showing at the AAU National Duals in June.  Alex won five matches and helped his team stay undefeated heading into the championship round where they fell in the finals to an All Star Team from Ohio.  This experience will pay big dividends for Curley, a defending Conference and District Champion.
