San Fernando Wrestling

Another good day of scraps with the tiger wrestling family.

San Fernando's very own! Isaiah flies out to Fargo today and will compete for his first 🛑 at 150LBS. Isaiah starts his senior year with us and has been with the tiger program since he was 7 years old. He is a testament to trusting the process and we will be tuned in to see him team California and the entire tiger family. Good Luck champ!

Favorite SFTW moment?
My favorite moments are when we went to Cracker Barrel because I was with all my teammates and we didn’t worry about anything but stuffing our faces.

What will you miss most about SFTW?
What I will most is definitely my teammates because without them idk if I’d be able to get through the season

What will you miss least?
What I will miss least is starving myself and running

Plans after HS?
My plans after graduation is to wrestle in college, but just for a bit to see if I still like it because don’t get me wrong wrestling is fun, but it can be stressful sometimes and I’m not saying it’s bad, I’ve had so much fun the last 4 years. It’s had its ups and downs, but I don’t regret anything.

Last words as a HS Wrestler?
I’d like to thank my parents, coaches, especially my teammates. My last words of wisdom, when you’re on the mat, don’t think because when you don’t think, that’s when you do the moves best. Also make good memories and don’t dwell on your losses, it’s just a match.

Hailee is a 3 year Tiger wrestler, would have been 4 but covid. She has been an inspiration to her team and the future girls of the program. Her dedication and loyalty to the program is appreciated and we look forward to seeing her future success.

Last words as a HS Tiger?
All I would say for those who will be graduating next year or in a few years. Enjoy every second and moment because it really does go by super fast. Don’t have any regret leave it all out there in anything that you do not just in wrestling.

Daniel is the prime example of trusting the process, he was only able to give 3 years due to covid but the 3 years he was here he put in a tremendous amount of work and helped with the rebuilding of a young team.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the sport and loyalty to the family.
