Good Morning! My name is Justin Condreay, I am a senior at Sterling High (who is in a co-op with Nickerson High for wrestling) and for my senior project, I am trying to get Sterling their own wrestling team.
Everyday, as a team, durning the brutal winter, we jump on the highway and travel 10 miles to Nickerson (Not to safe I think). After speaking with the Administration (Who totally gives me their support on the matter), it has been concluded that the reason Sterling doesn't have a team is 1) No where to practice and 2) No mats.
For my senior project, I am trying to obtain Corporate funding to supply the mats (The school has better things to spend money on). I personally have no idea how much a new, offical high school size wrestling mat will cost. The practice location is not a problem- There are plenty of empty barns out here we can practice in. The mats are the HEART of this project. If I get the mats- we get a team. No mats, no team. We already have a coach, and the school has agreed to pay for team apperal.
Any ANY ANY imput would be much appriciated. Names of Company's you think would be interested in helping out a highschool? (We even talked about putting the name of the donators on the mat, I.E JCAM CHEM SHS) How much a new mat will cost, or any good deals you find? The process you would reccomend on me taking? Names of people I can contact?
Agian, any help would be appriciated. I'm trying to expand the wrestling community just a little bit further.
Thank you and God Bless!
