2021 DUAL MEET BOYS WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

DIVISION 1

Temecula Valley defeated St. John Bosco 34-23 in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 dual-meet championship match Friday, June 5. It is the program’s 18th section championship since the dual-meet format was introduced in 1992.

Head coach Arnold Alpert has led the Golden Bears to 17 of the 18 championships. The match started at 138 pounds, which favored St. John Bosco (4-1) because its strongest wrestlers compete in the middle- and upper-weight classes while Temecula Valley excels in the lower-weight divisions.

Maximus Martinez got St. John Bosco off to a solid start, holding off a challenge by Abel Gaitan. Alec Peralta evened the score for Temecula Valley, as he took down Jasper Centeno during the final minute and posted a 7-6 decision in the 145-pound match.

St. John Bosco’s Oscar Oranda held off a late rally by Mark Takara to take a 6-4 decision at 152 pounds. Nico Ruiz picked up a 15-0 technical fall win over Matthew Black and Manuel Gaitan moved up a weight class to face Abraham Galicia. Gaitan pinned Galicia in the third period of the 170-pound match to help the Golden Bears get within two points.

Cael Valencia answered with a pinfall in the 182-pound match to put St. John Bosco ahead 17-9. Brian Thorpe (195) and Mark Ayala (220) posted matching 6-3 decisions in their matches to help the Braves extend the lead to 23-9.

Temecula Valley (9-0) took over the rest of the way as Jacob Plange pinned his opponent in the final minute of the 285-pound match, and Brandon Baldonado picked up four points with a 12-0 major decision at 106 pounds. Aidan Munoz with a walkover victory at 113 pounds gave Temecula Valley its first lead 25-23. Ethan Perryman pulled out a 4-1 overtime win over Grigor Cholakyan at 120 pounds. Nathan Perryman capped the match with an 8-3 victory at 132 pounds.
