Continuing La Jolla's string of successes on both the girls' and boys' sides at the City Conference Championships Sat., Jan. 24, 146-pounder Liam Kressin--who reached the CIF Masters meet last season--came up through the consolation bracket to secure third place in the relatively large weight division.
The long, lanky-ish 12th-grader--having just celebrated Senior Night Wed., Jan. 21--got pinned in his opening bout. He came back to win four consecutive matches to take third-place honors. In the finals, he pinned Ryan Vavrunek of Scripps Ranch in 3:00 (one minute into the second round).
Making a sportswriter's task a hard one with all these runs deep into their brackets, fellow senior Dylan Haugum also took third place in his 217-pound bracket, winning a match by pin in the penultimate bout in 2:46 over Oswaldo Lagunas of Point Loma.
The 12th-grader, who came back to the wrestling team this year after competing as a freshman, recorded a pin over Wesley Stinson of Madison in the third-place match in 2:22.
Teammate Ori Mor (167) took fourth place in his weight class, reaching the third-place bout through the consolation bracket. The junior recorded a fall of Kilian Strachota of SDHS, his foe in their dual meet match only three days ago, in 4:03. Mor succumbed to a pin in the final.
