About Capo Valley Wrestling
Thank You for stopping on the Capistrano (Capo) Valley HS Wrestling Team website. We’d like to take a moment to introduce you to the program and hopefully convince you to stop on by and lend a helping hand in whatever way you can.
History
Capo Valley High School was founded in 1977 and has been recognized as one of the top 2.5% of high schools across the United States. In addition to outstanding academics, athletics has always been a strong tradition at Capo Valley with accomplished football, basketball, baseball, swimming and soccer programs producing CIF champions, finalists and semi-finalists regularly. Wrestling also has a tradition of SUCCESS at Capo Valley since its inception and has produced a multitude of League, Regional, Southern California, and California State placers over the past 40-plus years. In fact, the wrestling program won Capo Valley HS's first ever League Championship. Capo has over 100 CIF Placers (over 25 champs), over 35 Masters Placers (incl 5 champs) and 11 State Placers (incl. 2x champ Mike Phillips). In more recent years Capo Valley's wrestling program has had at least one CIF champion for 8 consecutive years, including 12 Champions in that time (& a total of 27 placers in just the last 8 years), and 8 Masters placers in the last 8 years (w/ 1 champ); additionally the program is a perenially top ten team in our CIF. Our Girls program, although a fairly new program, has taken off in the last couple of seasons. Starting with just 2 girls 8 years ago, we finished 2024 with 15 ladies, in 2022 we had our FIRST STATE CHAMPION in Neila Fritts! The future is bright indeed for the ladies!
Among all of these accolades, possibly the most important statistic is the number of our young men and women who graduate (100%) and go on to serve our nation in the US Military or wrestle at the collegiate level.

Wrestling is one of the greatest crucibles through which to learn successful life habits. Through participation in wrestling, athletes learn solid work habits which prepare them for the challenges of life. They learn how to adjust to success and failure, pressure and stress, how to overcome and persevere, how to deal with discomfort, and how to work hard.
Again, welcome to the site. Please take a look around and reach out to us with any comments or questions.
