After an eight-year hiatus, this fall Wrestling will return to Moorpark College for the 2017 season.


On Monday, it was announced that Wrestling and Sand Volleyball will be a part of the comprehensive Athletics program.


“It is an unbelievable feeling to reinstate Wrestling for the student athletes and Wrestling community in Ventura County. Moorpark College will be providing an opportunity for many to continue Wrestling and follow their dreams,” said Interim Athletic Director Vance Manakas. “While we suffered the darkest days in Raider Athletic history six years ago, we will not only put this crisis behind us, but it will serve the future for countless members of our community.”


“The state revenue generated from the added student athletes won’t reach our campus for 18 months,” said Manakas. “So, there will be a time gap between paying the bills and getting paid. Nonetheless, adding these sports is in the best interests of Moorpark College on many fronts, including financially.”


Recruiting for wrestling will begin as soon as a wrestling coach has been secured.
