City College has produced more Academic All-Americans (AAA), amongst all sports, than any other community college in the state by more than 50 percent since the program began in 1977, according to wrestling team co-head coach Dave Pacheco.
The teams total GPA last semester was a combined 3.09, and according to a written statement by Pacheco, this is an accomplishment that hasn’t been reached before now and should be strived for in the future.
“Last (year) the team came up just short of 3.0 with a 2.97. Three years ago, the Panther squad had exactly a 3.0 in the fall,” Pacheco said. “The 2011-2012 team has set a new standard.”
Pacheco said the 3.09 GPA is the best single semester grade-point average the team has ever earned. Out of 30 wrestlers’ grades that were totaled for the teams’ average, 20 had a GPA of 3.0 or higher and three earned a 4.0 last semester.
The team’s GPA has even been nominated for the “Scholar Team Award” presented by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA). According to Pacheco, he was rather satisfied with the nomination because of the work ethic the coaching staff diligently attempt to instill in their wrestlers.
“I believe this is the first time a wrestling team has been up for the award,” Pacheco wrote in a statement. “The sheer numbers on a wrestling team make it very difficult to reach the 3.0 level, but the SCC coaches and wrestlers make that a team goal.”
Pacheco also noted that sophomores Anthony Vega, Gavin Ludwig and Gaaret Marinelli were named Academic All-Americans last fall, while “Mario” DiBenedetto was named to the Big 8 Conference Scholar Athlete Team.
City College has cultivated the environment for academic and athletic success according to Pacheco who was outspoken about the vested success of the school and his team.
City College has seemingly always been the (No. 1) team in Academic All-Americans,” Pacheco said. “Now the chance for the team award among all teams in all sports in the state is a great achievement.”
