The Best California Wrestlers Not to Win a High School State Title

Published

on

Robert Garcia - Selma (cs)

Over the years we’ve seen some very talented wrestlers in the great state of California. A lot of them went on to win CIF State championships and some were even fortunate to win multiple titles. We thought it would be great to highlight some of the past wrestlers who were not as fortunate to stand on the top of the podium in March.

Here is our list of wrestlers who we felt were among some of the best wrestlers we’ve ever had in California. Who else needs to be on this list?
