On the strength of
winning the four lightest weights, along with
heavyweight, the Cerritos College wrestling team
parlayed that into a 22-16 South Coast Conference
win at Mt. San Antonio College on Wednesday night.
The victory improved the Falcons record to 8-3
overall, while they are 2-1 in conference action.
The team will now take to the road and compete in
the Northern Idaho Duals on Friday and then drive to
Oregon for Mike Clock Open on Sunday.
After 125-pound
Matthew Bautista (North Torrance HS)
received a bye, sophomore
Jeff Janecky (Lakewood HS)
registered a 6-2 win at 133 pounds. After taking a
4-2 lead in the first period, Janecky recorded an
escape point in the second period and added to his
riding time in the third for the victory. It only
took freshman
Alex Razo
(La Quinta HS) 2:08 to post a pin at 141
pounds, while freshman
Jesse
Ponce (Mesa, AZ HS) easily won
his 149-pound match, 16-4. Freshman 285-pound
Jose Lopez (John Glenn HS) had
his hands full in his match, but escaped with a 4-3
win. It was a third period takedown that secured the
win over Frank Ayala.
The Falcons did
see a couple of their wrestlers suffer rare defeats,
with the biggest upset coming at 184 pounds.
Sophomore
Caleb Gerl
(Calvary Chapel HS), who reached the state
championship match last year at the weight and was
undefeated all season, suffered a 9-4 loss to George
Munoz. Cerritos lost five of the nine matches, with
Bronson Gerl (Calvary Chapel HS)
dropping an 8-7 decision at 157 pounds and freshman
Tim McMihelk (Canyon Springs HS)
suffering a 7-4 setback at 197 pounds.
