    CSUB adds Orozco to coaching staff

    BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- CSU Bakersfield head wrestling coach Mike Mendoza has announced the addition of Riley Orozco to the CSUB coaching staff as an assistant coach.

    Orozco became the 12th Roadrunners' wrestler to win at least 100 matches in a career as he wrapped up his time at CSUB with a 100-48 a year ago. He became the first four-time NCAA Division I qualifier from CSUB since 2002 (Matt Sanchez, Efren Ceballos) a year ago when he finished third at the 2011 Pac-10 Championships. Orozco took home the 197-pound title at the Pac-10 Tournament as a junior. Orozco earned first team Academic All-Conference honors as a junior and was selected second team Academic All-Conference as a freshman and as a sopomore.

    :We are excited to add Riley to the coaching staff,: Mendoza.:It is great to add someone to the program that is familiar with the program's history and has been a part of it. He has a great skill set that will compliment our current coaching staff. With a young group, he will have an immediate impact as he works to develop our upperweights."
