Light weight wrestling mats.
The new mats will benefit our wrestlers by providing a safe, clean area for wrestling practice and for competing.
The new mats will cut down drastically the time spent setting up the mats for practice and when we host compitition. In turn, the time saved can be used for more instruction time to train for better wrestlers.
CHS from 2019 to 2022 has only had about 11 boy wrestlers on the team. Since 2023, when our new head coach for wrestling joined our school, the boys' participation has increased from 30 boys and 4 girls in 2023 to 40 boys and 7 girls in 2024.
Our CHS Bear program caption is led by our wrestlers and all of the kids are excited and eager to learn wrestling. They want to feel invested and yearn to "Bear Claw" their way above, thus, "building stronger students."
