The boys & girls varsity wrestling programs had a busy but successful weekend. Last Friday and Saturday three teams entered various tournaments. The girls competed at the 8^th Annual Kusumoto Klassic at Prospect High School. The boys had a split squad with some wrestlers traveling to Temecula, CA for the Battle for the Belt and others at the 61^st Jim Root Memorial also at Prospect High School.
 
One wrestler was able to bring a belt home. Matthew Luna (SR) won six matches, three by fall to win the 152lb weight class at the prestigious Battle for the Belt. Luna was the first Lancer in history to win this nationally know tournament. He is currently ranked #5 in all of California in his weight class.  Joseph Pulido (SR), Rowan Joseph (SO), Jayden Haygood (SO), Hunter Luna (FR) and Frank Riley (SR) all scored points in the tournament by combining for nine match victories for the Lancers.
