With an undefeated dual season secured and a least a share of the TRAC Championship looking probable, the Cougars showed up on Saturday at the TRAC Championship tournament and did what they always do in the post-season, rose to the occasion.
The Clovis team won 7 individual TRAC titles and put 10 wrestlers into the finals to run away from Buchanan and cinch up an outright league championship for the 2nd straight season! Winning titles were the two super-frosh Daniel Gaytan (103) and Zach Nevills (171); the seasoned veterans Clinton McAlester (125), Scott Sakaguchi (145), and Tommy Burriel (189); and creating a reversal of fortune from earlier losses were Alec Dieter (135) and Cameren Kelley (152) to bring the Cougar faithful to their feet and give each of them a TRAC Championship. For Dieter, his first major tournament victory could not have been more sweet!
All 14 wrestlers advanced to the Yosemite Division Valley Championships next week at Lemoore High School, the toughest state qualifier of them all. The boys will need to be ready, and we know Cougars always are!
