Toppenish is the 2A defending State Champions, they took over the reins and dethroned Clarkston last year.  This year Othello and Orting will be chasing them but with smaller numbers in the freshmen class not sure they will have the depth to overtake the Team Title.  Let’s take a look at what the defending 2A state champs look like going into next year.

Returning State Placers: 5

  • 120: Diego Nunez (2nd)
  • 126 Andres Aguilera (2nd)
  • 182 Salvador Osorio (6th)
  • 220 Isaic Anaya (7th)
  • 285 Jonathan Cuevas (4th)

Returning State Qualifiers:  6

Impact Freshmen & Expected Weight

  • Kyler Romero-106
  • Jason Zuniga-113
  • Isaac John-120
  • David Call-145
  • Mauricio Ruiz-145

Toppenish loses a lot of senior power in State Champion Josue Rodriguez and the other 5 State Placers.  Losing those 6 leaders Toppenish will need their young crop of wrestlers to step up if they want to keep Orting and Othello behind them.  With Diego Nunez and Andres Aguilera both returning state finalist and Osorio, Anaya and Cuevas leading the team Toppenish has the power to make a big splash at state but will still need help from those incoming athletes in order to propel them to another State Championship.

Possible Line-Up:

106: Kyler Romero

113: Jason Zuniga

120: Isaac John

126: Diego Nunez

132: Andres Aguilera

138: Alexie Rubio

145: Mauricio Ruiz – David Call

152: Carson Northwind

160: Mario Luna

170: Eduardo Rojas

182: Salvador Osorio

195: Justin Montano

220: Isaic Anaya

285: Johnathon Cuevas
