Olivas, Cezar

Cezar Olivas was born in Mexico circa 1975 and was an only child. He and his family moved to Oklahoma sometime later. The town in Oklahoma was so small that he knew most of the people in it. He graduated from high school in 1993 and decided to attend the University of Texas at Arlington. He became a member of the wheelchair basketball team coached by Jim Hayes and went on to win three National Championships by the time he graduated in 1999.

After graduation, Olivas was selected for the Mexican National team in wheelchair basketball and went to the Paralympics in Sydney, Australia in 2000. He was eligible for the Mexican National team because he was born in Mexico.

After his playing career he went to work for Per4Max Medical in Grand Prairie, a company that specializes in the design of wheelchairs for athletic competition.
