SURREY — Isaac Bernard’s welcome mat to a new country, a new school and new friends didn’t fully cushion the impact of a hard fall, but when laid out across the floor for wrestling practice at Guildford Park Secondary, it became the foundation for a new life.

Now, some five years after we first profiled the eighth grader with the most natural of grappling instincts and the biggest of competitive hearts, Bernard has reached his senior season at the Surrey school ready to join the elite of his sport at the B.C. prep level and beyond.

When the 2012 provincial high school championships open a three-day run Feb. 23 at Penticton’s Memorial Arena, Bernard will be aiming to become just the fourth wrestler in B.C. history to win five provincial championship titles, joining New Westminster’s Brad Caulfield (1969-73), Alberni District’s Yorgo Roumanis (1994-98) and Abbotsford-Rick Hansen’s Harvie Sahota (2004-09), the latter claiming six titles after winning his first during a brief era when seventh graders were allowed to compete in the B.C. championships.

“Winning five would mean so much to me because I have put my heart in it,” said Bernard, who came to Canada from Liberia in search of a better life with his family in 2004, having never wrestled before. “I want to be the first from Guildford Park to do it. That has been my goal since Grade 8, and I want to keep my promise to be a five-time B.C. champion. It’s all up to me to prove to myself that I can make my dream come true.”

What has been most spectacular about Bernard’s string of titles, when compared with the other five-time winners, is the weight class in which his run began.

Typically, eighth graders wrestle at the lightest weights, and thus compete mostly against grapplers their same age.

Bernard, heavier than the rest, competed in Grade 8 at 48 kilograms, and to give a truer sense of the age range of some of his competition, he beat a Grade 12 wrestler in the provincial semifinals that season.

“To do it at that weight class was incredible,” remarks Guildford Park coach Mark McRae. “He did it largely on physical ability, not wrestling ability. But over the past five years, he has progressed to a level where, while he still needs some work, he is toying with people at the high school level.”

Not surprisingly, Bernard — whose subsequent B.C. prep titles have come at 51, 57 and 60 kilos — has moved beyond the high school realm to making news marks both nationally and internationally.

Through this past spring and summer, Bernard made the Canadian junior national team, then proceeded to compete in three national championship events. He finished second at the juniors, and first at both the juvenile and FILA cadet levels. Bernard then donned a maple leaf singlet and represented Canada at the World FILA Cadet championships in Budapest, Hungary in August.

Although he lost his opening match there, the experience did nothing but broaden his view of the possibilities the sport now affords him.

“When I went to the worlds, I didn’t know if I was better than anyone,” Bernard says. “I went there and Iost, and it made me want to work harder. So it gave me a lot of strength and the want to improve.”

Nicknamed Little Igali after Canada’s 2000 gold medal winning Olympic star Daniel Igali, Bernard still harbours the same international goals he did as an eighth grader.

But as he has grown into a more confident and assured young man, so too has he begun to see how his successes can serve as a springboard to helping others.

“I have not gone back home but one day I am hoping to go back and see how everything is,” he says of a potential return to Africa. “I love my new home. They are taking care of me well and I am getting an education. So I am happy. But I would love to take my knowledge that I have gotten here, take it to my home place and teach kids what wrestling taught me in life and how it took me places I have never been before.”

What seems certain is that this is only the beginning, that the sport he fell in love with has plans to take him to so many destinations yet unknown.

The Rick Hansen Hurricanes reveled in their repeat, while Isaac Bernard completed one of the most remarkable gold-medal cycles in provincial history.

That was the story this past weekend in the Penticton at the B.C. high school wrestling championships.

Abbotsford’s Hurricanes, led by the gold medal-winning performances of Justin Gill (66 kilos) and Jobanjit Phulka (78 kilos), claimed a comfortable 17-point margin over Burnaby Central to repeat as boys team champions.

Meanwhile, Bernard of Surrey’s Guildford Park Secondary, became only the fourth wrestler in B.C. high school history to win five straight B.C. titles, topping Colton Koopmans of Maple Ridge in the gold-medal match at 63 kilos.

Bernard, who has battled a sore right shoulder he first injured at nationals two seasons ago, had the malady flair up in a big way before his semifinal match with Vancouver College’s Miguel Bautista, yet somehow found a way to win despite not having the use of his right arm.

“My arm felt numb (against Batista) so I had to figure out a different way, to use my speed more,” said Bernard. “It hurt if anyone even touched it. So when I won (the B.C. title) I was so happy, I did a back flip.”

Bernard was later selected Most Outstanding Wrestler and his match against Koopmans was selected the boys top finals match.

Depth was the key for the Hurricanes,who fashioned seven top-six finishes.

Gill beat teammate Baldeep Gill in the 66-kilos final, and Manveer Gill forged a silver in the 84-kilos final. Ranjot Sandher was third at 63 kilos.

On the girls side, North Vancouver’s Carson Graham Eagles also took first place by a 17-point margin over Alberni District, winning the team title for the third time in the past four seasons. Arielle Marcel-Mackenzie (54-kilos) and Cholena Horne (57-kilos) were Carson’s gold medal winners. Ashley Osachuk of Campbell River’s Timberline Secondary was picked Most Outstanding Wrestler, and her match against Carson’s Brandy Perry was selected the top girls finals match.

COACH OF THE YEAR

SCHOOL: Guildford Park (Surrey)

So many talk about the value of youth sports programs in our communities, but so very few of those programs actually grow to the point where they become a part of the actual fabric of their neighbourhoods.

That’s what makes the wrestling program at Surrey’s Guildford Park Secondary so special and why readers of The Province voted Mark McRae, one of its guiding forces, Head of the Class 2012’s Coach of the Year.

Twelve years ago, the Sabres wrestling program was re-instated, getting the boost to buy its athletes new singlets and boots with a donation from the Surrey Firefighters, who also later established three annual scholarships for deserving grapplers.

And with the firefighter McRae giving back daily with his instruction on the mats, the program has not only contended for titles, but helped shape the service-oriented future of so many of its athletes.

Arminder Virk was one of those wrestlers, and he always told McRae he wanted to become a fireman.

“So I told him that he had to get involved in the community and give back, because that’s what firefighters do,” explained McRae. “He’s now 23, he was named Surrey’s youth Volunteer of the Year, and he is going through the process (of becoming a fireman).

“We have coached numerous provincial and national champions,” adds McRae, who coaches the team with Bryan Stretch, “but when you can see a kid turn into a gentleman, that says everything to me. I had my mentors and now I kind of hope I am able to have some kind of influence as well.”

And the feeling of full-circle family that comes with seeing a past graduate like Virk make such positives strides into his community is self-confirmation to McRae of why he does what he does.

“I don’t look at it as volunteering because I get as much out of it as the kids do and I have made lifetime friends,” he explains, happy to donate the entire cheque that goes with Coach of the Year honours right back into the wrestling program.

“A thousand dollars,” he says, “is going to go a long way for the wrestlers.”

VANCOUVER — When Chris Fuoco had t-shirts made up for his high school wrestling team at Vancouver’s John Oliver Secondary School, he took extra care to make sure that a specific word was included in the design.

“The t-shirts say ‘John Oliver Jokers Olympic Wrestling,'” the team’s head coach explained Tuesday, stressing the word ‘Olympic’ just hours after the International Olympic Committee voted to remove the sport from the 2020 Games. “Not every kid is going to aspire to or work hard enough to be an Olympian, but it’s an ideal. Olympics sells the sport, and I think this kills us.”

Wrestling’s only hope for the 2020 Games seems to be a faint one. The sport is now one of eight — baseball-softball, karate, squash, roller sports, sports climbing, wakeboarding and wushu being the others — vying for one open spot. Reports Tuesday, however, suggested that it was very unlikely that a sport just voted off the program would so suddenly find enough favour to regain its Olympic status.

“A lot of the kids were surprised because 2020 is a year that we could be in the Olympics,” said John Oliver’s Grade 10 standout Torrey Toribio, a national silver medalist at 42 kilos last season. “When you get to the higher levels of the sport, you can kind of start to picture yourself there. I thought that if I really worked hard, it could be one of my goals, something I could achieve.”

Still, hope was being held in the greater wrestling community.

“In spite of the disappointing news from the IOC, we will push forward to continue to develop elite athletes,” SFU men’s wrestling coach Justin Abdou said. “The news from the IOC is shocking, disappointing and seems unfair. The wrestling community is strong and we’ll work to get this decision reversed.”

Obviously, older and more established competitors with a passion for the sport will continue unabated, with national and world championship competitions serving as their carrot.

Yet as Fuoco says, it’s no easy chore to insure, at the grass roots level, that good numbers of young athletes will continue to give the sport a chance, especially when the same competition that made Canada’s gold medal-winning Olympic grapplers Daniel Igali and Carol Huynh household names, no longer exists.

“So many kids will pick up a basketball, and every kid in Canada picks up a hockey stick or kicks a soccer ball,” says Fuoco, himself a former collegiate wrestler at Simon Fraser, the same school that produced both Igali and Huynh. “But in wrestling, we start in high school. We are like the poor man’s sport. We can take every size, every shape. And that is huge.”

By Fuoco’s estimates, a wrestler’s prime competitive years fall somewhere in the range of 25-to-28 years of age, the same range both Igali and Huynh were when they captured Olympic gold.

“If you do the math, it’s right when the guys like Torrey are going to be real good,” he explains. “A Grade 10 kid is 16, so in 2020, our high school wrestlers are going to be 23-to-25. If you can hit 25 for an Olympic year, you are in great shape.”

Added Igali as part of a statement he released through Simon Fraser University: “For me, the question is not why wrestling should be axed from the 2020 Olympic roster. Rather it should be about how many other sports in the world are as popular, have the same reach in virtually every nation, and are as accessible as wrestling?”

For the coaches at John Oliver, the wrestling program has become a true point of pride for the school, like it has in so many others around the province. In the end, it’s about being able to sell students on the goal-setting steps that athletes like Igali and Huynh embraced, goals that in the general vernacular are now referred to as Olympian.

“It’s taken us nine years to get a new wrestling mat in the school and we’re still in debt for half of it,” Fuoco says. “Some of the kids here at John Oliver can’t even do a forward roll in Grade 10, but now we’ve got five wrestlers on (post-secondary) scholarships. So we do it for the ideals. That is what I tell the kids, go for the Olympics.”

And achieving that buy-in from the kids, and seeing them win their first match? It’s something no one can put a price tag on.

“I didn’t have any intention of joining this year,” says John Oliver Grade 10 wrestler Molly Fu. “But when I went to one practice and saw how fun, intense and challenging it was, I was hooked.

She wasn’t competing in the Olympics, but when the referee raised her arm after she won her first match?

“It was one of the most of the most amazing feelings in the world.”

BURNABY — There is a YouTube video from the summer of 2011 in which wrestler Amar Dhesi is being interviewed in a hospital room after suffering an injury during a Team B.C. practice session at the Western Canada Summer Games.

Dhesi’s left ankle is wrapped in a bandages, and there are a pair of crutches propped up against the wall.
“But I still wrestled,” the senior grappler from Burnaby Central Secondary recalled with a laugh last week. “They taped it up really well, and the next day I went out and won the meet.”

On the eve of the 2013 B.C. high school wrestling championships, set to begin a three-day run Thursday at the Island Savings Centre arena in Duncan, uttering the phrase ‘massive favourite’ is a sure-fire way to steer the conversation to Dhesi, the insanely-talented super-heavyweight who brings the nuanced skills of a much lighter competitor to the mat in the frame of a 6-foot-2, 260-pound giant.

To provide a frame of reference from the sport of basketball, Dhesi would be just like your average, run-of-the-mill 6-foot-10 point guard.

“He is just special,” begins Gianni Buono, the Burnaby Central head coach who has been coaching at the high school level for 24 years. “He just knows how to move for a big man. I’d like to say kid, but he is a man. He has all the skills of a lightweight wrestler. He doesn’t wrestle like a heavyweight.”

An absolute stickler for technique, Dhesi, who proudly proclaims himself to be “a third generation wrestler” inherited his love for the sport from his father Balbir, and from his grandfather, both of whom wrestled in India.

Older brother Parm, now a freshman kingpin on the mat at Douglas College, provided about as stern a training partner as you could find. Parm, in fact, beat his younger brother at 110 kilos in the B.C. high school final back in 2011 and is now up for Sport B.C.’s High School Athlete of the Year award.

With that kind of a family tree, it’s not surprising that Dhesi first hit the mat at age five. Along the way, he has won numerous national titles, including two prestigious FILA cadet crowns. Come Saturday, he’ll be attempting to win his third B.C. high school gold medal.

And Dhesi’s success has done more than catch the attention of some of the biggest collegiate wrestling programs around. This fall, he heads off to Oregon State on a full-ride scholarship, joining a Beavers’ program currently ranked ninth in NCAA Div. 1, the highest ranking of any school in the western half of the U.S.

The Beavers couldn’t help but notice the Canadian. Last year, at a regional competition in the U.S., Dhesi easily beat Oregon State’s No. 1-rated incoming freshman grappler, even though he was a full year younger.

Take one look at his physique, and the first thing you think is raw, brute strength. But as Dhesi is quick to say: “For me it’s always been my technique before my strength. You just have to go out there, stay on the mat, and practice one move a thousand times.”

Adds Buono: “We have a very technical sport, every move is technical. Your hand grip and placement is so important in being successful, and he has mastered all the fine details. Developmentally, for his age, he is at a senior national level. He can compete with men and that is extremely unusual. A lot of times at that level you can’t compete as a heavyweight because strength and power will overwhelm technique at those weight classes. But he has both and I have never seen it before.

“Of all the kids I have coached,” continued Buono, “there is no doubt that he is the best at this stage of the game, and I don’t even know how many provincial and national champions we have had.”

Weigh-ins for both the boys and girls goes on Thursday, with competitors hitting the mats for competition Friday and Saturday.

BC CHAMPIONSHIPS SET FOR WEEKEND

The 2013 B.C. Secondary Schools wrestling championships begins two days of live competition on Friday in Duncan.

Just give me one second while I find my speech. [Go through papers], Motivational speech for the football team, nope that’s not it, just kidding Ghuman. / Law homework, oh well Mr. Janzen wouldn’t have marked it anyways. / Celebration speech for when the Canucks win the Stanley cup, pshh why is this even in here sorry Aidan. / Ahhh right here Valedictorian Speech.
(PAUSE)

In 1992 Rick Hansen Secondary School was founded on behalf of a man, a man who had a dream to change the world. He had a vision to inspire lives worldwide and become what we view today as a difference maker; and although he faced many obstacles in his life he overcame those obstacles to become a stronger human being. He left a legacy that one day each of us will leave as well.

It is my honor to be representing and speaking in front of such an amazing grad class [pause]. To start, before anything else on behalf of the graduating class I would like to thank all of staff at Rick Hansen, it is our teachers, counselors, and administration who have helped shape us as individuals and make these past 4 years memorable. We would also like to thank our families for their endless love, support and encouragement, which has enabled us to be here for our graduation ceremony.

Personally I would like to thank my dad and uncle for always supporting me, and my mom for all her hard work and unconditional love.

This morning when I woke up I went through my regular routine to get ready for school. Eventually when I came to school I sat through my AP Bio class and listened to Mr. Bulat talk about how strong he is.

Then I went over to chemistry and sat through a vintage Mr. Klassan chemistry lesson, one thing Mr. Klassan has taught us is if you can do Chemistry 12 you can do anything in life and lastly I went to English and yes Mrs. Craig took my phone for the 30th time this year. When I came home I began to get ready for convocation I put on my favorite song “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mar.  I thought to myself darn I should have bought her flowers. When I got over her it hit me, wow tonight is the night, which we have been waiting for our whole life,/ tonight is the night when we finally graduate from high school.

There are many experiences over the past 4 years that will stay in our memories forever, whether it’s Mr. Lee telling us a story about one of his buddies, /one thing we have learned is that Mr. Lee has a lot of buddies/; or if it’s Mr. Hallam asking us “If your mother had a moustache would she be your father”?/ And who can ever forget Mr. Janzen’s famous quotes whether its “You are done cinnamon bun”/ or “pitter patter, let’s get at er”

We cannot forget to mention this year when Mr. Hallam shredded the Bateman wolf to pieces just to get our football team pumped up/ and watching our teachers perform Gangnam style was very entertaining;/ and who will ever forget the grad cruise and how much fun we had coming backing and singing songs, we truly connected as a grad class there.

We will forever remember acting out Shakespeare plays in English class and having Ms. Dhillion shower us with help in every lesson we learned in math.

Then there’s Mr. Sloboda and Mr. Sekhon, they’re like a good cop bad cop duo and we all know who is the bad cop. We will miss Mr. Sloboda as he goes off to W.J. Mouat to make it a better place, just like he did here at Rick Hansen.

There are also our counselors Mr.Sidhu and Mrs. Fawcett, we all have made multiple attempts at stealing some candy from Mrs. Fawcett’s office; I’m guilty, you’re guilty, and hey even Mr.Sidhu is guilty.

And who will ever forget all the time and effort our president Colleen Duong and vice-president Daya Bhogal have put into making this year as amazing as possible.

Then there are the memories, which we have made with each other, who can ever forget Munny and Christine’s laugh/, or listening to Hameet talk about how electrifying he is/, and we all will forever remember Ghuman and Hau breaking it down at every dance we had this year; and we all remember Ben’s blonde moment in physics this year, 5 time 2 equals 20.

Come on Ben!

It is memories like these, which we will never forget and cherish for the rest of our lives. We as a graduating class went from a from a disorganized array of students knowing no one on the first day of school to this connected community that we have built for ourselves.

When we first walked down the halls of Hansen to that initial classroom. We were assigned textbooks filled with the names of past schoolmates, we didn’t realize then how soon we would become one of them. It has gone by so fast. We may not have realized that we were embarking on a journey where many had gone before. Slowly we began to love this place and make it our second home. We went from spending our lunch hours in grade 9 not knowing what to do with ourselves to grade twelve where we could drive with our friends wherever we pleased.

Four years ago we dreamed of this day. Four years ago we might have been scared and apprehensive about our high school experience. We dreaded waking up early in the morning, and sitting through each eighty-minute class. Four years later, we would give anything for just a bit more time here with each other. And now we graduate, and it is a remarkable and illustrious moment/ but take it as just the beginning and not the end/ as Tom Brokaw says “You are educated your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life./ Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.”

As we exit the halls of Rick Hansen, we enter the world of tomorrow. There will be challenges, there will be ups and down, there will be successes, and that is simply reality. Further to our academic knowledge, this school has empowered us with life skills which will not only prove to be valuable for ourselves but, one day when we are in leadership positions we hope to echo these same values to the generations after us.

At times we may minimize the role of one person, but the vision of one man such as Rick Hansen truly impacted the world, he turned the vision he had into reality his actions, sincerity, and leadership still affect lives today.

As I stand before you I see my peers, my classmates, and my companions,/ you’re all difference makers, each and every one of you have hopes and dreams.

I know I stand in front of the future doctors/ Abhijit Clair, the future lawyers/ Ruhie Chohan, the future artists/ Aman Kinda and the future difference makers of the world/ you the graduating class of 2013. We have goals, we have dreams, and we have things that you care about. Never give up on those dreams. Every time we reach an obstacle we believe with all our heart somehow, someway there is a way over it, under it, around it, or through it.” / So do as Rick Hansen did twenty-seven years ago / Find a dream and let it inspire you to revolutionize the world and make a difference.

Congratulations graduates of 2013. Thank you for all the memories and these unforgettable years. Love you all.

AMAR DHESI
WRESTLING
SCHOOL: Burnaby Central
FRESHMAN’S FUTURE: Oregon State

If not for his humility, Amar Dhesi might find reason to be a little bitter about a level of anonymity that seems to stand in direct contrast to his gargantuan talents, ones which make the Burnaby Central Wildcats senior one of the very best high school wrestlers in the entire world.

Take the recent Fila Junior showcase event held in Las Vegas. There, in the heavyweight division championship final, Dhesi finally got the opportunity to meet the No. 1-ranked prep wrestler in the entire United States, University of Michigan-bound Adam Koon.

“I guess you could say I was the underdog,” Dhesi smiles. “They didn’t know where I was from and they didn’t know who I was.”

So much so, in fact, that in a You Tube broadcast of the match, his surname is listed at Phesi, which the announcers pronounce Fay-Zee.

Over the course of six minutes, Dhesi proceeds to dominate his high-profile foe, ultimately winning, then swiftly walking off the mat like it’s something that happens every day of his life.

“I didn’t know who he was six minutes ago,” one announcer says. “But I do now.”

In the fall, Dhesi begins what is a very rare occurrence for Canadian wrestlers, beginning an NCAA Div. 1 career on scholarship at a powerhouse U.S. program, in his case, Oregon State.

And the multiple B.C. high school and two-time FILA cadet champion, a third-generation grappler, will attack that new challenge just like all of the others placed in front of him, with a supreme inner belief that he is the best.

“You have to have that inside of you,” he explains softly. “I think that no one can score on me. I wonder how someone is going to beat me. That is how you have to think.”

And what of Dhesi’s cauliflower right ear, its cartilage morphed and molded by the constant pounding years on the mat have brought?

To him, it is a badge.

“I had this by the time I was in Grade 9,” says Dhesi, who started wrestling age five. “Everyone asks me. I tell them I am proud of it.

SURREY — Dacious Richardson knew what the word meant. He just couldn’t pronounce it.

“It was ‘everything,’” he remembers. “That word, for me, was so hard to speak out loud. People would ask me what I was trying to say.”

These days, it’s significant to report that it not only rolls off his lips, but that its all-encompassing meaning has come to define the difference between a life at risk and a life filled with possibility.

Born into the horrors of a civil war which devastated his west African nation of Liberia, it was through a caring mom and a pocketful of providence that he emerged not only alive, but with a life force, one which for the past four years has infused a spirit of joy into both the staff and the student body at Surrey’s Guildford Park Secondary School.

Blessed with an infectious smile, dedicated to humanitarian service and imbued with a competitive streak that has made him a gold-medal contender on the wrestling mat, there is really only one word that comes close to measuring his limitless spirit.

To him, having gone from nothing to that tough-to-say word, in a new world, has meant, well, you know.

“Everything,” he says.

GETTING OUT ALIVE

He knows his history.

“Liberia means free,” Dacious explains to his interviewer with the delivery of a well-tenured professor, while walking over to a map of the world on one of the walls of his school. “It’s right here, on the west coast of Africa. Very tiny. Colonized by the American Colonization Society. The freed slaves from the United States went back there, settled the land and formed the nation.

“I am from Monrovia, the capital city. It’s named after James Monroe, the U.S. president.”

There’s a test in the morning, but you can’t put a grade on the level of atrocity he experienced first-hand in his most formative years.

A civil war had begun very soon after he was born in 1998, and by the time he had reached the first grade, there was no escaping the fact that the lives of both he and his family were in constant jeopardy.

On one occasion, his mother Elizabeth had sent him to the market, and when he arrived he saw his Grade 1 classmate there, brandishing a gun.

“He saw me, called me over, I thought he might kill me,” Dacious remembers. “But he asked me how I was doing, asked me if I could come with him.”

That was, of course, an offer to join the nation’s rebel forces, one which the youngster steadfastly refused.

“I remember once, early in the morning, I saw my first (dead) body,” he continues. “My body began to tremble and I began to cry. Then this rebel came over to me. He said ‘Why are you crying? Haven’t you seen this before? Well, now you’re going to see a lot more.’ And he took some little guy and shot him in the head, right in front of me. I was like ‘No.’”

There were other atrocities as well. Too many to list.

“That ruined my mind,” Dacious says softly. “I don’t know how to describe it, but when I came here from Liberia, because I was from the war, I used to think about all the things I’d seen and get depressed. All the students and teachers would say to me ‘Dacious, you can do it.’ And sports helps. When I am playing, I don’t think about anything else. But when I sit at home, or I sleep, those memories come back to me.”

A DIFFERENT KIND OF WEST COAST

As tough as it was to say goodbye to both his mom and grandmother, Dacious, along with his sisters Dallice and Dekontee left Liberia in the spring of 2011 to begin a new life in Surrey with their father, David Richardson.

Entering a new school part way through the year can be extremely tough, but doing it in a brand new country in front of a lot of strange faces was daunting for Dacious.

Yet when he arrived at Guildford Park in March of his Grade 8 year, his older cousin Isaac Bernard, who would go on to become one of the of the most decorated wrestlers in provincial high school history, proved to be a key, early mentor.

“He told me he was doing this sport called wrestling,” remembers Dacious, who gave the discipline a cursory try, and was inspired enough to give it a go on a full-time basis the next season.

In 2012, he won the Surrey championships. In 2013 he not only made the provincials, he finished fourth overall at 60 kilograms.

And then last season, despite suffering a serious shoulder separation just two weeks before the provincials, still competed, losing his first match but then rallying to go undefeated the rest of the way and take bronze at 63 kilograms.

“I won third place with a broken shoulder,” he begins. “This year? I am working very hard and I know all the others are, too. But I believe in myself. I am going to finish in first place.”

To help insure his goal, he trains regularly with not only his high school team, but with the collegiate and national team-level wrestlers at Simon Fraser University.

Not blessed with a car, however, Dacious’ daily journeys have become something of an epic measure of his character. In fact on those school days twice weekly when he journeys both to SFU and later to meet his soccer teammates for evening practices, he both leaves and returns to his home in total darkness.

Rising before 6 a.m. on each of those days, he takes two buses to get to school. After school, it’s a bus, two SkyTrains and then another bus to get to SFU. That’s followed by a bus, a SkyTrain, and another bus to get the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex for soccer practice.

Finally, it’s a bus, two more SkyTrains and another bus to get home by 11 p.m. If you’ve lost track, that’s 13 different stops.

“And I am a person that likes to do his homework so I can hand it in the next day,” he adds. “Sometimes I only get three or four hours of sleep a night. I know that’s not good. Sometimes I set the alarm for 4 a.m. to get up and do some more.”

HELPING HANDS

At last season’s provincial wrestling championships, held in Prince George, Dacious says he drew inspiration from letter written to him by one of his teachers, Kristin Dorey.

“She even bought me food to take the provincials,” Dacious says. “I thought ‘Wow, a teacher doing this for me.’”

But he pays it forward.

Dacious has volunteered his time with a young man through the Big Brothers program. Through the school’s REACH program, he has helped in all manner of ways, including the pending formation of a program designed to mentor the school’s large ESL population as it reaches its high school years.

Ask him about his future, and he uses the word ‘dream’ a lot.

“My dream is to wrestle at SFU one day,” he begins, a step he would like to take after both wrestling and adding French to academic resume next fall at Douglas College. “My dream is, when I go to university, to come back to this school and help. My dream is to become a physical education teacher, and a personal trainer.

“And when I become a personal trainer, I want to establish my own gym, and from that gym, I want to help people in my community become fit. I want to help people who are struggling financially because I used to.”

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL

Dacious also hopes one day to return to Liberia and visit his mother. But in the mean time, he has spent summers on a construction site, working to save money to not only pay for college, but to send back home to Monrovia.

“From my mom and my (late) grandmother, I learned how to share,” begins Dacious, “how to be positive. They have made me what I am today. When I was a boy, and a stranger passed by, they would invite the stranger to come and eat. Sometimes they would sleep over. My grandmother would even give them money. I saw that and I thought ‘I can do the same.’

“Since I have been in Canada, 60 dollars in Liberia is like one dollar in Canada. The most I’ve sent over is a hundred dollars.”

None of Dacious’ journey has been lost on the Guildford Park staff, including P.E. teacher Robert Puharich, who also helps coach the school’s wrestling team.

“Dacious’ story is one of the toughest I have heard,” says Puharich. “He’s had every single reason to go down a bad path, like many in his neighbourhood have. But he knows how he wants to live his life. To hear he wants to become a P.E. teacher, that kind of leaves me speechless. For him, to come from a place that didn’t really have organized schooling, but to now have that kind of a goal? He is a remarkable kid. It’s an honour just to know him. There is really no word to describe Dacious.”

Except to say that to so many, he represents the meaning of ‘everything’.

EAST VANCOUVER — Throughout the winter, under the cover of darkness, Torrey Toribio would take to the streets of his East Vancouver neighbourhood to begin the daily chase of his dream.

“A lot of days the alarm was set for 4:30 (a.m.) and I would run for hours,” the senior wrestler with the John Oliver Secondary Jokers remarks. “When you start running that early, it’s pitch black. I’d be with my teammates, and we would run until the sun began to rise.”

A wrestling star since he first took to the mat at J.O. under the auspices of veteran coach Chris Fuoco, Toribio had nonetheless fashioned a resume filled with heartbreak.

Three straight bronze-medal finishes from Grades 8-10 at the B.C. high school championships had been followed by a silver-medal performance last season as a Grade 11.

“After all of that, you get tired of losing,” Toribio said earlier this month. “After all the years of expecting to win and then under-performing, you realize that you have to go in even harder and just believe. So I just decided to do what other’s wouldn’t be doing. The training. The lifting. That was for the mental part of wrestling, giving yourself the confidence that tells you that you are the better wrestler.”

In the end, John Oliver’s indefatigable honour roll student not only won his first provincial title in late February (57 kilos), but also recently returned from Fredericton where, representing his high school, he claimed the Canadian national Under-18 juvenile championship at 58 kilos and was named the meet’s most outstanding overall wrestler.

“The thing about Torrey is that he doesn’t just go out there to wrestle and win,” says Fuoco, the former Simon Fraser Clan wrestler who has built a mat-based community within the hallways of the inner-city school. “He goes out there to be outstanding, and that is rare. He has such an unreal heart. He’s such an emotional kid deep down. You just can’t teach the kinds of things he does.”

Take all of those early-morning runs and it seems like the old cliche, about how a season is a marathon, seems to have been coined just for him.

And when his entire wrestling career is viewed through that prism, it can be seen as an apprenticeship of sorts for a dream senior season, one which saw Toribio compete at four different weight classes en route to compiling a stunning 48-0 record against Canadian competition.

In December, he won Simon Fraser’s prestigious War on the Floor. In January, at the Western Canadians held at the Richmond Olympic Oval, he was first again, a feat he would go on to repeat at the high school zone championships.

Then, at the B.C. high school championships, the roll continued. Toribio not only won the B.C. title at 57 kilograms, he was named the tournament’s overall Most Outstanding Wrestler.

Curiously enough, Toribio had won a national title before he had won a provincial high school title. Following his bronze medal finish as a 10th grader at the B.C.’s, he won at his weight class at the Under-16 Canadian Cadet championships.

But winning both in the same season?

“It feels almost unbelievable,” says Toribio, who got involved in the sport around sixth grade while tagging along with his uncle, Mark Ballon, a John Oliver assistant coach who was introducing the sport to inner-city kids each summer.

Under Ballon’s mentorship, Toribio says he discovered his love of working with young children in the sport, and he has subsequently given of his time to spread the grappling gospel to those in his area, volunteering at places like the Sunset Community Centre.

The byproduct of all of that?

“I want to further my own education, get a good job, and it’s not all about wrestling,” says Toribio, who is in the process of deciding where he will not only begin his university wrestling career next season, but also where he will begin studies in nursing.

“Throughout the years in the summer, I have volunteered at children’s day camps and I have really enjoyed it, being a role model to them,” he continues. “It’s made me want to become a paediatric nurse for children.”

As a coach, Fuoco couldn’t be more proud.

“He inspired me this year, the way he led our team,” says Fuoco. “One night, I was watching a movie with my wife and kids. It was Coach Carter, and there was a line in the movie about how our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It made me think of Torrey, because we’re all scared of taking that next big step into the world and being successful. But that is something he has done.”

VANCOUVER — Over what is now nine straight years, we at The Province have wrapped up our annual coverage of high school and university sports in B.C. with what we simply call our Recruits List.

It’s a format that has proved so popular that it has spawned a legion of imitators, from the scores of basketball and football sites across the country who now follow the format, to the many universities across our country who have flattered us the past few years by producing their own version each fall.

How many names have we published over the years? We’ve lost count, but it’s somewhere around 8,000 give or take a few hundred.

And while that’s a big number, the aspect we have appreciated most is that every name has its own story of dedication and perseverance.

Reaching the post-secondary level in any sport is a major accomplishment, and this year, we are happy to say we are publishing the names of some 782 student-athletes. You will find the complete list boys list by clicking here, and the complete girls list by clocking here. Please share on Facebook and re-tweet on Twitter. We’d like as many as possible to see this list.

And as has become tradition, each year we take one Grade 12 girl and one Grade 12 boy, and tell their story.

This year, we think you’ll agree that they, like the rest of the Class of 2015, are special student-athletes, indeed.

NICOLE HUTCHINSON

TRACK AND FIELD

SCHOOL: Sentinel (West Vancouver)

UNIVERSITY: Villanova

Villanova-bound Nicole Hutchinson (centre) raced against the best over her prep career, including Nanaimo District’s Miryam Bassett (left, SFU 2014) and Dartmouth-bound Grace Thompson of West Vancouver-Collingwood. (Wilson Wong, UBC)

WEST VANCOUVER — It was in mid-June that Nicole Hutchinson realized she was experiencing one of those moments, the kind you arrive at when goal-setting and hard work carry you to a most significant intersection.

On the same weekend that the senior middle-distance running star from West Vancouver’s Sentinel Secondary lowered her personal-best time in the 1,500 metres to a 4:23.36 at the Portland Invitational, she got the chance to meet Sheila Reid, the Newmarket, Ont., runner for whom Hutchinson has always carried enormous respect.

Hutchinson is set to begin her collegiate running career this fall at Villanova University, the same school at which Reid won consecutive NCAA Div. 1 cross-country national titles en route to a spot on the Canadian Olympic team.

“I knew she was going to be there,” Hutchinson chuckled last week. “I had hoped for the chance to meet her. She has been one of my idols and I got her to sign my jacket.”

It’s fair to say Hutchinson has had her own share of young fans this past season, as she capped a high school career filled with highlights: Winning the B.C. cross-country title as a 10th grader, claiming provincial gold at 3,000 metres in Grade 11, and this past June, winning the 1,500 metres as a senior.

“Nicole is such a versatile runner,” says Cindy O’Krane, her club coach with the Hershey Harriers, “but her speed has also improved in the last couple of seasons. That in combination with her strength makes her able to be competitive in anything from 800m to 3,000m and cross-country.”

Adds Hershey coach Darcie Montgomery: “This year we sat down with Nicole and set some big goals for her senior cross country and track season. She not only achieved all of them, she went above and beyond.”

A super showing on the trails at the Stanford, a key scoring position with the Canadian team which won gold at the Pan Am junior cross-country championships in Colombia in February, then finally breaking 4:25 in the 1,500m at Portland.

“But there is one more left,” she added.

Hutchinson is now aiming for a top-two finish in the 1,500m this weekend in Edmonton at the Canadian junior championships. If she achieves it, she will earn a spot on the national team competing at the Pan Am junior championships beginning July 31.

“Heading into that race, I am not thinking so much about the clock, my lap times or any of that,” says Hutchinson. “I am thinking of where I want to be in the race.”

Extend those sentiments to a much broader spectrum and you could say Nicole Hutchinson is at the front of the pack, headed for the place her running career was always supposed to take her.

LUCAS BILL

FOOTBALL

SCHOOL: Carson Graham (North Vancouver)

UNIVERSITY: McMaster

NORTH VANCOUVER — Lucas Bill barely left the football field over his final two senior varsity seasons at North Vancouver’s Carson Graham Secondary, so it went without saying that the every-down, three-phase standout with the Eagles had a pretty hefty highlight reel to show university coaches.

“But my (high school) coaches said that it was more important to play in front of them, so they get to know you in person, and that is better than just sending film,” said Bill. “Besides, I’m the kind of guy that really likes to work hard in practice and you can’t see that on film.”

So instead of relying on video, Bill flew east after his Grade 11 season, performing in what is best described as gridiron’s version of summer stock, auditioning in front of coaching staffs at three Ontario schools, including the OUA powerhouse McMaster Marauders.

A year later, he’s looking like a guy ready to step onto the main stage.

In the fall, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Bill will begin his university football career in Hamilton, suiting up for a McMaster team which is not only coming off an appearance in the Vanier Cup national final, but has advanced to the CIS’ showcase contest in three of the past four seasons, winning it all in 2011 right here in Vancouver.

“I already loved the school, and then when they talked to me about the situation with the defensive backfield, it worked out perfectly,” said Bill, who is joining a team which graduates five key members of its secondary. “But no matter where I was going, my goal was to make the dress roster the first year. Hopefully I will be able to show well on special teams and be able to play in my first year.”

McMaster head coach Stefan Ptaszek has already spoken to Bill’s potential, labelling him as one of the shining lights of his defensive recruiting class.

Bill’s flattered, and he credits his development to not only his love of the game, but a multi-sport background that not only included soccer and rugby, but Triple A midget hockey through his Grade 11 year in the North Vancouver Minor hockey Association.

On the football field, Bill did it all.

Combined, over his Grade 11 and 12 seasons with the Eagles, he totalled 2,208 all-purpose yards, scoring 22 touchdowns along the way. The totals were split nearly identical over the two seasons, with 868 receiving yards, 517 rushing yards, 462 kick-off return yards, and 361 punt return yards. He added 91 tackles on defence.

“It’s going to be tough leaving home,” says Bill, who will be in Hamilton by the middle of next month. “But I fell in love with McMaster and it was too good an opportunity to pass up.”

The Province’s 2015 recruits list has arrived.
