The girls kicked off action Thursday in the opening of three days at the CIF State Wrestling Championships at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield — and the top seeded locals didn’t disappoint.
Leading the way was Brawley’s Savannah Gomez and Calexico’s Karen Salais.
Gomez, top-seeded at 137 pounds needed just 1:08 of mat time, pinning Cynthia Isordia of Tokay in 44 seconds and Ariana McPike of Mills in just 24 seconds. Salais, the No. 2 seed at 106 pounds registered a pin in 59 seconds over Brianna Vollendroff of Oroville in her first match and came back to shutout Brenda Martinez of Ayala 11-0.
The strongest weight class from San Diego continues to be at 235. No. 5 seed Angelina Leal of Olympian scored a pair of pins while No. 2 seed Valeria Rocha of El Cajon Valley followed up her first round pin with a narrow 1-0 victory over Pepper Marks of Santa Barbara.
Delarie Juarez of Brawley (116) and Kyrra Young of Valley Center (143) both remain alive in the championship bracket. La Costa Canyon’s second-seeded Alexandra Perez was upset, pinned by Rosalie Lopez of Los Banos at 189 pounds in 1:33.
On the boys’ side, Poway won its first 16 matches before suffering a loss. The Titans racked up plenty of bonus points during the stretch, pinning 13 of those matches with a tech fall.
“Great day for Poway wrestling today,” said Poway head coach John Meyers. “10 into quarters and four on consolations with a lot of pins. That’s why we’re in first after today.“
Only three non-Poway grapplers survived to the quarters. Collin Guffey of Granite Hills joins Poway’s Brock Bobzien in the quarterfinals at 132; Rancho Bernardo’s Ryan Badgett and the Titans’ Angelo Posada are alive at 160 and Brawley’s Robert Platt still is in the hunt at 195 along with Poway’s Braden Pease.
