La Jolla's wrestlers have a workout this morning, Thanksgiving Day, at 9 a.m., then they have the rest of the day off, as well as Black Friday, until a follow-up workout Sat., Nov. 26, also at 9 a.m.
Head coach Kellen Delaney reports that Elliot Austin, a star 115-pounder from last year's team, is bringing his considerable talents back to the mat for the Vikings this year, as well as Christophe Naviaux and Brocke Bonnette. Both latter wrestlers competed at 147 pounds.
Naviaux was one of two Viking wrestlers who survived the first day of the championship bracket at the Holtville Invitational last January, along with senior Jake Harvey, who has graduated.
Delaney said that Joe Acosta is no longer wrestling with La Jolla.
La Jolla will be looking to Austin, a native of England, and Naviaux for leadership on this year's edition of the squad. The varsity starts official action the first week of December, a week after the Thanksgiving break.
