Vic Moreno

Moreno has spent the last two years coaching the Cardinal Wrestling Club and competing internationally. Prior to coming to the Bay Area, Moreno spent the 2005-06 season as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater. That year, he helped the Mustangs to a top-25 national finish and guided 125-pounder Chad Mendes to a Pac-10 title and his first All-America honor.

Meanwhile, Moreno claimed a number of top finishes internationally for the U.S. In 2006, he captured the 60 kg freestyle title at University Nationals and won the Sunkist and NYAC International Open Championships at 55 kg. In 2007, he placed third at the U.S Open and World Team Trials, claimed another title at the NYAC International Open and was a member of the USA Wrestling National Team. In 2008, he earned a bronze medal at the Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix, finishing above eventual Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo in the 55kg competition. Last summer, Moreno placed fifth at the U.S Open and Olympic Team Trials.

A two-time All-American at Cal Poly, Moreno qualified for the NCAA Championships three times at 125 pounds during his collegiate career and earned two sixth-place finishes. He was also a three-time Pac-10 placer, finishing among the top three in the conference for three consecutive years. As a senior in 2004-05, Moreno captained the squad and claimed the 125-pound Pac-10 title.

Moreno graduated from Cal Poly in 2005 with a degree in kinesiology and earned his teaching credential in physical education in 2006
