Sierra’s wrestling team had a good showing at Central Catholic in a Valley Oak League double-dual meet Wednesday but settled for a split. The Timberwolves first topped Lathrop 51-27 before coming up short against the host Raiders, 48-30.

Central Catholic defeated Lathrop, 43-13.

 “We wrestled very well against Central Catholic,” Sierra coach Alex Nuanez said. “But we had an injury and forfeit and that was costly.

Branden Rullan (113), Vincent Marquez (120), Jordan Dollar (132), David Saenz (220) and Thomas Swanson (285) won via pin for the Timberwolves over Central Catholic.

“Swanson’s  pin was great,” Nuanez said. “He was on his back in second round down 7-2 and he  rolled the guy and stuck him midway through the round.”

Against the Spartans, Dollar, Alez Loaiza (138), Sean Murray (120), Saenz (220) and Swanson (285) won by pin with Vincent Marquez (113) and Rullan (120) winning by decision.
