The ground rumbles from the stomping of cleats and walls tremble with the echoes of physical exertion. As athletes train for the upcoming season, these sounds can be heard from Hughes Stadium, to the North and South gyms, to Hoos Pool.

Last season, the City College golf and wrestling teams won the Big 8 Conference and, according to the teams’ coaches, both are looking strong for another win this season.

The Panthers golf team’s win was aided by players such as Riley Sexton, Lauren Dahl and Chelsey Love, who all played well both during the conference and throughout the season.

Dahl has returned for another season and, according to Coach Tim Kiernan, is playing well along with newcomer Madison Holm.

“We have been very good in the past few years with our short game,” says Kiernan.

“I really like this year’s team,” says Kiernan, who is in his 15th coaching season at City College. “ They work very hard as a team.” 

Their key to wins this season is, “consistency,” says Kiernan.

City College’s  Wrestling team also won the Big 8 Conference last fall.  The team  finished 6-3 overall and 3-1 in their conference. With one solid wrestler in each weight class, according to Coach Dave Pacheco, the Panthers won the Big 8 Conference. City College was 4-0 in the Big 8, winning 34 of 40 matches.

Isaiah Hurtado was selected as Outstanding Wrestler for the Big 8 Conference. Hurtado was also  first team All-Big 8 Conference along with four other teammates: Nathan Monck, Tim Nevarez, Gerson Nkunku and Paul Buchanan.

“We are very talented and deep in most weights,” says Pacheco, who is in his 30th year as wrestling coach at City College. “I like our chances to win a state championship.”  Their key to wins this season are to, “work hard and stay healthy,” believes Pacheco.

The current Panther volleyball team, on the other hand, is made up of all new players, according to Coach Laurie Nash.The all-new team this season is, “looking strong,” says Nash, who is carefully tuning the team of eleven freshmen and one returning sophomore.

“ They have been working hard on and on the court,” says Nash, “and have developed a strong bond as a team.” 

The team’s key to wins this season will be, “constant improvement,” believes Nash, who has been coaching volleyball for 18 years at City College.

Meanwhile, the core of the women’s soccer team is set to for a second season, which started Aug. 31, according to Coach Jang-Ha Oh.

“ They helped each other on the  field and in the classroom,” says Oh, who is in his 11th year as soccer coach. “[It’s] a nice group of players.”

Those players will be joined by some talent in the form of freshmen, some of whom are transfers from other colleges. One of them, Jasmine Bangnuis, from Basin Columbia College in Washington, “is highly competitive, has great stamina, and wants the ball every second,” says Oh. Bangnuis will be playing midfield.

Coach Oh says he expects every game to be a good match. “We have really strong and sound defenders,” Oh says. The key to wins this season, Oh adds, is that “attacking players need to score goals.
