In Orlando Florida, a power house high school who is known for its wrestling program, was just recently fined 57,000 dollars by the state athletic association. The reason the state is fining Oviedo High School is because the school allowed kids to wrestle when the school knew those kids were illegally living in the other district. Due to this, the wrestling program is banned for three years from all district, regional and state competitions. Many kids will most likely try to transfer out of Oviedo High in order to get noticed by college coaches.
The Oviedo wrestling team has won five team state titles dating back to 2004. In these past 7 years, the wrestling team has won state titles in 2010 and from 2004-2007 the team won a four-peat. The wrestling program has produced many athletes that have gone to Division I schools all across the country and serve to be some of the top wrestlers in America. The program at Oviedo instilled in their athletes a "win at all costs" attitude which is one of the main reason why the team and individuals were so successful while they were there, and another reason why many of the past athletes are successful today.
