Girls CCS 2011

Miss Laura Rocha (the only female member of this year's squad) entered into the second ever Girls CCS Wrestling Tournament, which qualifies for the first ever California Interscholastic Federation's Girls Wrestling Championships. The top 4 girls in each weight category (different from boys) move on to the state tournament. Held at Oak Grove High school in San Jose, there where over 150 participants, and 21 competitors Laura's 108 pound class. Overall she went 2-2 wrestling very well but failing to place top four. More importantly, Laura had fun making several improvements to her wrestling game and testing them out on her opponents. She pinned her first opponent from Lowell easily, but hit the #4 seed in her second match from Salinas and lost. Bouncing back, she pinned her third opponent from Mission SF with a far-wrist running arm-bar, a move she learned only the day before. The last match was very tough, Laura lost by minor decision. She walked away exhausted and a swelling black eye, but with a smile on her face. Congratulations to her for a great performance.
