California wrestling heads into the twenty-first century
Last years CIF State Championships ended in great fashion. With only seconds left in double overtime, Poway's heavyweight Fred Wong reversed Ben Fox of Buchanan to secure the school's second CIF team title since 1986. At the Senior High School Nationals, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the boys from the "Golden State" brought home the National Team title, including three individual National Champions, and fourteen All-Americans overall.
California wrestling heads into the twenty-first century as one of the most competitive wrestling states in America. Several talented and nationally ranked wrestlers return this year to compete in the biggest competition pool in the country (approximately 700 competitive teams). Leading this talented group is junior sensation Jacob Palomino from Independence of San Jose. Palomino is the first wrestler in California wrestling history to win an individual CIF state title as a freshman, and is in contention to become the first four-time state champion. Only Nortre Dame's Marty Kistler (2X NCAA Champion for Iowa) made four trips to the finals during his tenor (1978-'81), winning his final two years. Four other wrestlers return to defend their state titles. They are Alex Tirapelle & Clint Walbeck of Clovis, Mike Simpson (Brethren), Brody Barrios (Poway), and Darrell Vasquez of Bakersfield, the second freshman to win an individual state championship as a freshman.
Once again, the 'CHURCH BOYZ" from Calvary Chapel are the team to beat. They return six wrestlers with state experience (3 state placers, 3 qualifiers). Close behind is Central Section power Clovis, returning two defending state champions (Tirapelle & Walbeck), and four state qualifiers. Don't count out the defending State Champions Poway. The San Diego based team return defending State Champion Brody Barrios, state placer Andy Kim, and two qualifiers. Other competitive teams, include Merced (return 3 state placers), Brethren Christian (return 2 state placers), and Lemoore (return 2 state placers, 2 qualifiers). Keep an eye on both Rancho Buena Vista and Bakersfield. They're young, but are loaded with some of the best up and coming talent in the state.
The wrestlers below have performed many accomplishments to be listed. A majority has placed or qualified for the CIF State Championships, earned All-American status at the Nationals, placed at major tournaments, or did well at the Cadet & Junior State Freestyle or Greco Championships. As usual, there will be wrestlers not listed, but worthy of recognition. If there is a wrestler up and coming, let me know. The wrestlers below are listed at the weights wrestled last year. A majority will wrestle one or two weight groups above this year.
