Story written by Mark Garcia

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.

Newcomer placed first at Five Counties, CIF and Masters. He was a first-team all-county wrestler last season. Embry-Riddle is considered to be one of the top engineering schools in the country.

Schulte, who was a third-team all-county performer last season at 112 pounds,  placed first in the Orange Coast League, third at CIF, sixth at Masters. He was the only freshman from the county to qualify for the CIF State tournament.

Schulte has already started off-season football and wrestling workouts.

Morgan McIntosh, who was also selected as Champion of Champions, finished the season 42-0. He might be on the verge of history. Brian Moreno (Foothill) is the only county wrestler to win three state titles.

Bruce Terry (1978-79), Howard Lawson (1980-81), Todd Tomazic (1986-87), Mike Phillips (1987-88), Heath Sims (1988-89), Zach Cooper (1989-90), Tony Okada (1990-91), Josh Holiday (1994-95), Ed Mosley (1994-95), Joe Calavitta (1996-97), Ty Wilcox (1996-97), Michael Simpson (1999-2000), Joe Williams (2002-03) are the only county wrestlers to win two state titles.

I think McIntosh will be able to at least join that group and who knows, maybe Moreno will have some company.

"A lot of the coaches have told me that he is by far the best wrestler in the state of California," Calvary Chapel coach Arsen Aleksanyan said. "I don't think he worries about records, rankings or pressure. He doesn't buy into the pressure."

And as for the future:

"I think there's a lot he can do," Aleksanyan said.

Aleksanyan then ran through a list of possible achievements and the first: Three-time state champion.
