Congratulations to Isaiah Quintero, who recently won the CIF State wrestling championship in his weight class!
The state of California has only one champion per weight class. This grueling tournament starts with the league where wrestlers must place to 4 out of 8 teams. Then they need to place top 6 out of 60 teams for the CIF individual. Then 6 CIF individual come together where wrestlers must place in the top 9 out of 360 schools. The state tournament has 13 sections that represent the best of over 1000 schools. Isaiah pinned his first two opponents, then won his quarterfinals match 3-1, then upset the state’s top-ranked wrestler 3-1. On Saturday, February 26, in front of thousands of fans, he beat Ronnie Ramirez from walnut 10-1.
Isaiah is El Dorado High School’s 6th State Champion and youngest in the school’s history. Isaiah is now a CIF, Masters, and State Champion. This is a rare feat in the lower-weight divisions of high school wrestling. Congratulations to class of 2024, Golden Hawk sophomore Isaiah Quintero!
