 Jeff Silvera here at C3. California I think you guys needed this. John Stotsman's up there and he goes, this is a good state to be in. What do you think of the talent here at C3? Oh wow, it's great. It's the typical, you got kids all over, deep kids. It's like being at the state meet where you know the seven, six, seven, eight place guys are pretty good kids. You see a lot of these kids here that didn't even place at the state meet and talented. You know if they didn't place last year, they're gonna end up placing this year. A lot of these names I recognize, the state qualifiers, it's great. A lot of deep talent, a lot of good kids here. Looking at your guys' situation, five NCAA qualifiers, you got a new head coach, you're the associate head coach, which congratulations on that promotion, that's pretty pretty awesome. But how has it been for you transition wise? Two head coaches in three years, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy to make that transition. What's it been like for you? It's been good. You know, Mike Fendoza was great to work with. Easy going, put out what he expected from you and Annie's pretty much the same way. He says this is what I need, this is what I expect, lays out the plans, you execute it, get it done. With him and Sean Boyle who came on, three of us working really well together. We had a little some rough patches this season, some injuries but we got through it. We had five NCAA qualifiers. Next year we want guys to vote in. We don't have guys on the voting next year. It's going to be disappointing no matter how many guys we qualify. Looking at what you guys have done, it's been, it's a lot of fundraising, because you've had to match other sports and do all this other crazy stuff. The sport of wrestling to me looks like it's growing around here in the state of California. And then I look at the college level, you did just add a program with Fresno, but what's it take for you guys to succeed and build more programs out here in the West than in California? Well here in the West it's been a struggle at times. CalBats is coming to D1 which will be great. We're still surviving and thriving. We have to fundraise our budget. It's about $250,000 a year. That's everything from salaries, to recruiting, to shoes, shoes, yeah just everything. What? It's whatever, yeah right? The school's helping out where they can and it's been a good improvement and we're hoping they can continue to help us out and help pay out some kind of state funding from them. Our AD is great. Our associate AD who's our sports supervisor, Karen Langston, she's wonderful. She's on the NCAA Championship Committee now. So things are moving in the right direction. We're excited. We've got our Manny's excited. I'm excited. Things are moving the right way and we're just hoping that we get to that point where we don't have to fundraise everything. We're just a little bit more focused on the kids and the children. We're in need to move. And look at this event, the C3, the college compound, the compound, compound college, and you know, what did you expect coming into the event? What were you looking for? What did you expect? This is my first time at this thing so I didn't really know what to expect but it's awesome. Cliff does a great job of putting this together, getting good quality kids to come out. I mean there's state places, there's two kids that were in the top three, there's a state runner up here, a kid that was third, a lot of state qualifiers. Talent here is something that kind of pulled me away. I mean I know we have a deep state but to get these kids to come out the 4th to July holiday week and it's great. It's a great job of putting the sign and having coaches from all over the country here. Is that about your expectation? Oh yeah, it's great. I'll be back here again if he brings it back. It's got to be wonderful. Would you guys, you know, it comes back here, is it something where you guys could actually travel to another one or another state too if you'd like to guy at one of them? Oh yeah, I mean that's something that's solely possible. I mean I know there's talent all along the West Coast here. I mean Oregon has good kids, Washington, down in Arizona that the high school level talent is growing. It's just not, you know, some people just think it's just California but places are getting better and as long as college programs keep growing, it's gonna be more kids will get better. Trickles down, all trickles down What's next for you? Fargo? You know what, I won't be in Fargo. I think Coach Barrow might be going. We have summer camps at our place and then just train with the kids. We have great commitment from our team. Everyone's there training, working out and we're getting ready to go for the season. Coach, you got a long drive back. You got anything else for me? I'm headed to the beach right now. You're headed to the beach? You're a lucky duck. Hey, thanks for the time safe travels coach and go Roadrunners.
