Prep State Wrestling : Trujillo and Sims Win Again

Covina High School’s Tony Trujillo and Irvine Woodbridge’s Heath Sims each won their second CIF state wrestling championships Saturday at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.

Trujillo (53-0), a senior, and Selma High sophomore Gary Quintana were tied in the 112-pound final after overtime. Trujillo won on a tiebreaking rule that gave the match to the wrestler who was credited with the first reversal.

Trujillo had previously won a state championship at 98-pounds as a sophomore.

Sims (55-1), who won a state title last year at 132-pounds, pinned Monte Vista’s Dustin Harless in 1 minute 5 seconds in the 138-pound final. Sims breezed to the final, defeating four opponents, 42-8, with one pin.

El Monte’s Arroyo High had two state champions. Can Tran won at 98-pounds, and Efrain Gonzales won at 132-pounds.

Katella also had two champions--Chris Mollkoy at 154 and Joe Pastorello at 175.

Fresno Clovis West won the team championship with 57 points.

Santa Monica’s Greg Jackson lost his semifinal match to eventual champion Terry Watts of Caruthers, 5-2. Jackson finished third, beating Monte Vista’s Frank Millsap, 11-5.
