Champions on the Rise

Fresno City College’s Junior College State Champion wrestling team will meet at the West Hills Invitational in Lemoore, Sept. 24, 2011.

Eight starters from last year’s line-up returned, four of which are state champions. The list of state champs includes 165-pound Tigran Adzhemayan, 141-pound Kevin Rojas, 149-pound Conrad Rangel and 174-pound Martin Fabbien.

“This is the best place in wrestling in the state of California,” said Head Coach Paul Keyshaw. “FCC is the winningest program in the junior college system in the history of the state of California.”

The Rams, according to Keyshaw, have won 11 state titles.

FCC has also made a reputation thanks to a strong coaching staff. Keysaw was named the State Tournament Coach of the Year, and assistant coach Sal Garcia was named the Assistant Coach of the Year.

The Rams have 15 scheduled matches this season, the majority of which will take place on the road.They will head to Cuesta College for the Meathead Invitational and to Santa Rosa City College for the North Dual Meet Championship.

“We try to go out and wrestle the best people in the state to get ready for the state tournament. We don’t have much control over our schedule, so we are going to do the best we can to win a state title,” said Keysaw.
