2018-19 Way-Too-Early California High School Wrestling State Rankings
Yes, we know it’s only June, but it’s never too early to take a look at the best California High School wrestlers next season. The 2018-19 season is shaping up to be a great season with some top young talent returning. Two wrestlers (Cleveland Belton and Jesse Vasquez) will be looking to win their third consecutive title next March. Looking to win their second CIF State title this upcoming year would include Richard Figueroa, Maximo Renteria, Jaden Abas, Matthew Olguin and Trent Tracy.
Bearing in mind that transfers, in-coming freshman and injuries will change some of the likely favorites when teams begin practicing in November, here will be a lot of top wrestlers to watch for:
