Four-time world champion, Carina "La Reina" Moreno (21-1, 6 KO's), was asked to give a commencement speech to the late 2009 graduates of Aptos, Watsonville and Pajaro Valley High Schools.
The ceremony took place at the Mello Center in Watsonville California, where Moreno gave an inspiring speech, congratulating all the students on their accomplishment, struggle and dedication to get their diploma. Students were encouraged to continue the quest for a better education.
"I feel its important that all students to get their diploma and go to college, said Carina. "To build a brighter future for tomorrow, we need to keep the next generation of students in school. It makes me feel good that I was able to give some inspiration to the students that were present. I'm hoping they will continue to better their education."
Carina was the honorary guest asked to blow the whistle at the start of the game=2 0between the Santa Cruz Derby Girls versus the Derby Revolution of Bakersfield.
Moreno took pictures with both teams after the match and was asked to try out with the Derby Girls on July 19. Carina feels that she can be a jammer for the Derby Girls with her speed and agility.
"This was a fun event," said Moreno. "There was a lot of action and the girls are really athletic. I'm looking forward to my invitation to try out for the team."
