"ROB VERVERS started his high school officiating career in 1990. Two years later he was selected to officiate his first regional tournament. And in 1995, he officiated his first CHSAA High School State Tournament. Ververs was a perennial state tournament selection until 2002, when he took a multi-year sabbatical from calling matches to follow the high school and college wrestling career of his son, Tony Mustari. After returning to active officiating on the mat in 2010, he was selected back to the Colorado Tournament the following season and has returned each year since. Following his return to action, Ververs became a leader and officer in the Colorado Wrestling Officials Association. He served a total of eight years as a voting member on the CWOA Executive Committee, filling the roles of Vice-President, President, and Past-President. He is currently the Executive |
Secretary of the CWOA, while also filling a role as State Wrestling Rules Interpreter. Over the years his reputation for excellence has spread well beyond Colorado. He has been chosen to officiate the NHSCA High School National six times, and has ranked in the top 6 officials or better each year. Ververs has also been invited to officiate the Super 32 tournament in North Carolina and the Best of the East tournament in Delaware. His CWOA colleagues are extremely proud to have him represent them so well across the country. Ververs credits Jerry Moore for being the most influential person in his officiating career. Moore provided him both opportunities and invaluable feedback. “There is no way I would have achieved the success I have without Jerry’s influence. Jerry, I appreciate you” said Ververs." |
