Cerritos secures three-peat at 2025 3C2A Women's State Championship, with Mt. San Antonio in second

MONTEREY PARK, Calif. - The 2025 3C2A Women's Wrestling State Championship came down to two teams as the Cerritos Falcons led Mt. San Antonio Mounties by 21.5 teams points (206-184.5) before the finals began.

Although Mt. SAC closed the gap by picking up 27 points in the finals, the Falcons managed to hold onto their lead, taking home the title to complete the elusive three-peat.

Vida Beckel (160lbs), Kinsey Konrad (180lbs), Raven Ross (207lbs) and Eniekeye Osede (235lbs) all put on dominant performances to win their brackets and lead Cerritos to another championship.

The runner up Mounties were led by Mackenzie Muniz (117lbs), Jasmine Macias (131lbs), Leilani Lazaro (124lbs) and Alexis Jimenez (145 lbs) as well as Tehya Ledesma (138lbs), who provided the most exciting moment of the night as she came back from an 8-0 deficit to pin her opponent in the championship round.

In addition, Mt. SAC saw its staff voted as the Assistant Coaching Staff of the Year while Berenice Chihuahua (131lbs) earned the trophy for the most falls in the tournament with three in 3:22 minutes of action while

But for Cerritos, depth was key as the quality of their wrestlers throughout the tournament shined and pushed them over the top, finishing with seven All-Americans who racked up points but did not win championships.

The Falcons finished with 232.0 while Mt. SAC earned 211.5.

After winning his third consecutive championship, Cerritos College Head Coach Dustin Kirk was just focused on the continued growth of the sport and giving women an opportunity to do what they love.

"Women's wrestling is the fastest growing sport in the country right now, and it shows," Kirk said. "The Women's Wrestling Coaches Association is doing a really good job of getting women out there and it's good to see a first year like Skyline, taking third place and growing."

As Coach Kirk mentioned, Skyline took the tournament by storm in their first official season. The Trojans had one state champion in Graciela Caro (103lbs) and two other All-Americans that scored the majority of their 101.5 points.

Sacramento City finished in fourth place at 81 points thanks to having seven wrestlers earn podium finishes with one All-American in Karissa McDaniel (103lbs).

The Delta Mustangs were led by their lone champion Samira Mason (110lbs), who not only took home an individual championship but was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. Delta ended in a tie for fifth overall with 67.5 points.

Palomar earned a top five finish with six members of their team getting podium spots while Maleah Ballejos (117lbs) worked her way to All-American status.
