El Dorado Hills School Athletics
Oak Ridge High School is historically known for its prestigious athletic program. Trojan Football won the D-II California State Championship in both 2003 and 2004, led by two outstanding athletes: Austin Collie and Seyi Ajirotutu. Collie currently plays and starts for the Indianapolis Colts, and Ajirotutu plays for the San Diego Chargers. After several tough seasons, the Trojans won back-to-back league championships in the Sierra Valley Conference both in 2008 and an undefeated run in 2009, led by quarterback Connor Benander.
Oak Ridge Wrestling Team has had much success to receive two SJS DII Section Championships in 2008 and 2009. That claim may be disputable as the Sac Joaquin Section website displays Ponderosa High School as Section Champions in 2009. Leading the way was Oak Ridge Wrestling's most accomplished wrestler Kyle West. West is a 2X High School All American. West Placed 3rd in the Nation as a Junior and 5th in the Nation as a Freshman. West was Greco State Champion in 2006. West also placed in California State 2nd as a Junior and 4th as a Sophomore and ended his Senior year with injury. Then went on to Wrestle in D1 College UC Davis, which ended its wrestling program in 2010. West now wrestles for Utah Valley College.
Oak Ridge Basketball has had the most recent success as the Lady Trojans shocked the nation by running the table in 2010 with numerous upsets, until finally defeating 3-time defending CIF champion, Long Beach Poly in the D-I California State Championship, led by Stanford-bound Sara James. The boys won the D-II California State Championship in 2005 by upsetting Southern California powerhouse, Mater Dei, 60-44, led by current Orlando Magic player, Ryan Anderson.
Oak Ridge has a successful Track & Field program producing, among others, Alexandra Kosinski, a standout middle distance runner who set a National High School 1600m record in 2007.
