Junior Matin Ghanavat fights his way to State!

Congratulations to Junior, Matin Chanavat on qualifying for the CA State Championships at 175 lbs. Matin has been a varsity wrestler since his freshman year and he certainly faced some adversity this year with a knee injury and having some issues with a serious illness that took him out of a few competitions. Still, after taking 4th place at the Cossarek and going 5-2 at the Rollie Lane, and taking 2nd at the CVAA Conference tournament it was pretty clear that Matin could make a strong post-season run. His CIF was not friendly however, as 4 of the 5 wrestlers who advanced to Masters all made it to the CA State tournament. AS Matin battled though his Masters braket he kept picking up steam and found his way to the 5th place match to qualify. Timely takedowns and a dominating ride was more than his opponent could deal with, and Matin was podium, and State bound!

Two Capo Seniors Going Forward to College Wrestling

Congratulations to both Kevin Casillas and Alex Gallardo who have both been given the opportunities to continue wrestling beyond high school at Cerritos College and Santa Ana College. Next year is the first year in which Ladies will be doing freesyle in the CA Community College season, so Alex will have a bit of learning to do but we know she will be up for the challenge! Kevin plans to drop to 197 for Santa Ana College.

Scholar Athletes

Capo Valley Wrestling had a fantastic year on the mats; and an equally great one in the classroom with several wrestlers earning 3.5 GPA's or higher. For the girl's team: Sydney De Sena, Jillian Mourer, Caitlyn Yee, Gianna Hayden & Westerly Gallo all met the high standard. On the boy's side: Spencer De Sena, Ethan Mourer, Tyler Ellmann, Kameron Dykhouse, Solomon Resnick, Aiden Han, Chase Byrne & James Chudy all produced outstanding GPAs while earning a varsity letter. Congratulations CVHS Wrestlers on your hard work!

Capo Traveling to Boise, Idaho

This sesaon there was a new element to our program-- that of travelling out of state to compete at the Rollie Lane in Boise, Idaho. The event is the first weekend of January and was hosted at the Ford Idaho Center on 13 mats! There was a total of 98 Boys Teams and 70 Girls Teams from six states-- Idaho, Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington, Utah, California and Nevada were all represented. The quality of wrestling was very high as Idaho has really risen their level over the past few years and recently won Fargo as a State in Greco and was top-5 in Freestyle. Strong performances were seen by James Chudy at 98's, Aiden Han at 106's (who took out the #1 seed in the first match of the day!), Solomon Resnick at 126's, Matin Ghanavat at 184's, Kevin Casillas at 220's, Getse Poblete at 100's, Gracie Belmont- 6th at 105's, Jullian Mourer at 115's, Brooke Pina at 120's, Alex Gallardo at 125's and Sydney De Sena at 130's... The best part... Being able to reconnect with Coach Shack and this was the first time on an airplane for six of our athletes! Not to mention, the amazing home-made lasagna dinner made by Coach Calentino.... This is now a permanent feature of our season... We will absolutely be back!
