Aquinas Boxing vs. Cincinnati High School Boxing


     Aquinas boxers fought hard for a 12-5 win February 13th when they went head to head against Cincinnati High School Boxing for the thirteenth consecutive year.

     Each February the Aquinas boxing team competes against Cincinnati High School Boxing. The bouts are held in Rochester on even years (like this year, 2016) and in Cincinnati on odd years. This year the fights were held in the Aquinas field house and could also be viewed live online!  Family members from across the country could watch their boxers thanks to the livestream.  You can view the fights here:


     The fourteen boxers who fought in the bouts were joined by Emily Cook from Our Lady of Mercy, Angel Carrasquillo from the University of Rochester, and Henry Kaester an Aquinas Alum who came back as a coach and fighter for the team.  Cincinnati’s team was a combination of both boxers from the University of Cincinnati as well as boxers from surrounding high schools.

     The next big event for the boxing team will be the 84th annual Mission Bouts held Friday, March 4th. Mark your calendars and save the date for this traditional Aquinas event.
