Going to the mat for state
May 24, 2021
Wrestlers Jesus Fierro, Yazeneth Madero, and Tommy Calderon made it to state competition. The state championship was held on April 24.
“Madero led the girls to a great season, she went all the way to state and got fourth place at state for the 95 lb weight class,” wrestling coach Christopher Thummel said. “Fierro had a fantastic season, Jesus also got fourth place in the 138 lb weight class.
Fierro is the boys team captain.
“I didn’t act differently when I realized I punched my ticket to state because I knew this wasn’t the end of the road just yet. I would say my biggest challenge I faced was going more than half a year without stepping on the mat before the season started,” Fierro said.
