  • Exploring the world of California Community College wrestling at the 3C2A Championships

    Exploring the world of California Community College wrestling at the 3C2A Championships
    Dec 19 2024
    For the past 20-something years that I’ve covered the world of college wrestling, one system has always been extremely unique and interesting to me, the California Community College Athletic Association. Now branded as the 3C2A, the organization has sponsored a men’s wrestling collegiate championship since 1959. In 1982, the strangest thing about the league came into being - it became a fall sport. So for over 40 years, the first wrestling to kick off each season isn’t the NWCA All-Star Classic or an open somewhere in Michigan, it’s in September in California.

    So what and who is actually competing out there? I went to find out, seeing some familiar faces along the way to tell some stories about what the athletes and coaches get out of competing in wrestling’s fall season.

    On this episode, you’ll hear from:
    7:40 - John Sachs from Tech-Fall.com
    10:50 - Mt. San Antonio head coach David Rivera
    13:00 - Fresno City College head coach Paul Keysaw
    16:00 - Palomar College head coach Timmy Box
    20:45 - Lassen College head coach Lonnie Nalls
    25:30 - Mt. San Antonio assistant coach Chris Mecate
    32:20 - Cal Poly Humboldt (D2) assistant coach Jim Zalesky
    35:30 - Cuesta College head coach Joe Dansby
    41:20 - Sacramento City College head coach Marques Gales
