SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- The Cal Poly wrestling program has received signed National Letters of Intent from seven matmen, all from California high schools, including two from the local area.
Wesley Wilson from Morro Bay High School and Dom Mendez from Righetti High School in Santa Maria are among the seven who will begin competing on the Mustang mats next fall.
"We are incredibly excited about this class," said sixth-year Mustang head coach Jon Sioredas. "It was great to get back on a general recruiting cycle, with official visits. With two Top-100 recruits and several others that continue to improve, we landed a fantastic group."
