Paloma Valley High, one of the traditional CIF powers in boys and girls wrestling, got the season off to a good start with convincing victories over Valley View on Thursday.
The boys team won by a score of 55-20, while the girls score was 66-12. Eleven of the 13 girls wrestlers won their matches, including some by default.
“Returning CIF placers Reyna Geronimo (105) and Bryleigh Delis (135) scored dominant wins, along with many others. Freshmen AJ Miller (110) and Rosie Jara 120) debuted with solid wins,” said coach Luis Robles.
Winning by fall were Geronimo, Miller, Savannah Hankins (130), Delis, and Olivia Vander Wendy. Winners by pin were Jara, Aubrey Laviolette (145), and Reese Corson (155).
On the boys team, winners by fall were Izzy Dixon (113), Jaelen Dixon (126), Anthony Martinez (132), Robert Alcarez (138), Dylan Gojich (150), Lennon Tinahui (175), Nate Flores (215), and Devin Rubvcalba (285). Nathan Salmeron (144) won by major decision.
“The girls are very young. We have two seniors total, but my new girls coach has been putting in a ton of work developing them,” Robles said. “With the boys, I was rather impressed. We had three starters out, and the Valley View boys team is a very solid team. We looked great tonight. It was a great debut from freshman Izzy Dixon.”
