2017-18 Western Wrestling Capsule

WESTERN

Head coach: Don McGregor, first season

Returning lettermen: Five

Top wrestlers: Diego Ortega (Sr.), Angelo Vigilia (Jr.), Kevin Jaimes (Jr.), Abraham Navas (Sr.)

Outlook: McGregor inherits a team that returns only five lettermen, but does have some talent.

Ortega, who is expected to wrestle at 120 pounds this year, was the Class 3A state champion at 113 pounds last season.

Jaimes (106) finished fourth in the Southern Region meet, and Vigilia (113) took sixth in the region meet last year.
