LJ b wrestling: Trio goes to Masters

By Ed Piper

Three Vikings--Noah Pace (120 pounds), Jayden Williams (165), and Asher Sternberg (175)--came out of the CIF Division 4 Finals placing fourth or higher in their respective weight classes, and as a result earned their way into the CIF Masters tournament at Christian High Friday, Feb. 21.

Pace made it to the 120-pound final Sat., Feb. 15, at Mar Vista High. The junior has been sick for a couple or three bouts this season, yet has built on his earlier successes as league champion in his freshman and sophomore years at La Jolla High.

Williams, a senior who moved from Texas to live with his father a year ago, and Sternberg, a junior, have both had strong seasons during winter 2024-25. Their seasons have not yet finished, either.

Liam Kressin, at 144 pounds, will go to Christian High as an alternate for his fifth-place finish. A teammate, 150-pound Patrick Fitzmaurice, wrestles Wed., Feb. 19, for the opportunity to win fifth place in his weight division and go to Christian as an alternate two days later.

Another Viking who placed in the division finals was Jack Long, a senior at 215 pounds.
