With several star performances, many in the middle weights, La Jolla rode a complete lineup to a 54-27 win in an Eastern League dual meet at University City Wed., Dec. 17. The victory came in the boys varsity competition in the feature bouts.
Ryan Lennard, long-time assistant coach for the Vikings following a strong prep career, told the assembled team after the end of the meet, "That's what happens when you all show up." It was an affirmation of what the wrestlers did, an encouragement to keep it up, and a challenge to continue to "show up" for training and meets as the season continues.
Freshman Nathan Kramer, at 106 pounds, continues to sparkle in the meet-opening weight class. He recorded a fall over the Centurions' Jason Torres in a brief 35-second encounter. That helped set the tone for the whole meet.
Also contributing star turns were brothers Victor (144) and Oliver (132) Franklin, Liam Kressin (150), Ori Mor (165), Dylan Haugum (215) and Alex Mourlas (138). All won by pins in the first period.
Earlier, to a reporter, Lennard the coach stated: "This is the first time we've had a full lineup in a long time."
