West Valley College in Saratoga, Calif. Needs Support

Wrestling Fans,

California is about to lose another wrestling program. We need to act quickly and professionally. 

West Valley College in Saratoga is about to drop wrestling which has been a part of the college since it opened in 1964.  Jim Root has saved the program once, but now he will need even more help.

Please read the attachments and follow up ASAP.  We cannot afford to lose another wrestling program.  The California Community Colleges are down to 21 programs.  We are a struggling sport.  I am not sure what the magic number is, but if we fall too far, they could conceivably drop the sport all together.

Please help West Valley and the sport of wrestling by writing an encouraging and professional letter to the folks in the first attachment.

Sincerely,

David Pacheco

Sacramento City College
