Youth Wrestlers Earn State Titles, Placings
The San Clemente Youth Wrestling Club earned an individual state championship and had several placers at the state tournament last season.
Kelan Stever, 14, became a USA Wrestling State Champion with an unbeaten run in the Middle School Boys 149-Pound Division at the California USA Wrestling Folkstyle Championships on March 13 in Fresno. Stever is the first-ever state champion for San Clemente Youth Wrestling. Stever won each of his matches by pin to earn the title.
Kelan’s brother, Kyler Stever, 9, finished fifth at the USA Wrestling State tournament in the Boys 10 and Under 84-Pound Division.
