The San Clemente Triton wrestling team finished third out of 22 teams at the annual Watts Summer Games last month at Southwest College in Los Angeles.

“The team really did an exceptional job in the competition,” said Tritons coach Mark Calentino.

Individually, San Clemente had a dozen grapplers place, including senior Kyle Conroy, who was the 189-pound weight class champion and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player on the strength of his four pins.

“Kyle had a very strong tournament. He’s really becoming a dominating competitor,” said Calentino.

Placing third was senior Donald Stanley and junior Leo Flores. Earning fourth-place honors were juniors Zach Fishman and Hayden Yacobucci, and seniors Tyler Root, T.J. Chavez, and Aaron Lee. Juniors Calvin Wiss and Kyle Reese finished fifth, while sophomore Zach Fiene and senior Hector Garcia each took seventh.

Also representing the Tritons and winning matches in the tournament were Dakota Day, Wyatt Finnie, Justin Feldman, Spencer March, Darian Devoe, Adam Ferrier, Drake Montez and Shea Canada.

The Tritons will next be in action in the Orange County Summer Scrimmage League, as well as the Summer League Finals Tournament in late July.
