March 3, 2017 | The 2016-17 BTSLA Wrestling Championships were held at Roybal Learning Center this past Sunday, February 26th. Over 160 wrestlers from 21 wrestling programs took part in the culminating event of the 2016-17 middle school season.George K. Porter Middle School, led by coach Anthony Figueroa, won the team championship for the middle school division, followed by Washington Irving Middle School, led by coach Richard Do, then Thomas Starr King Middle School led by coach Kevin Kuwahara.In the community program division, San Fernando, led by head coach Matt Castillo, ran away with the team title.  They were followed by Topanga Division PAL, led by coaches Benito Mendez and Eric Medina, then Pico Rivera, led by coach Chris Pena.The event kicked off with a pancake and sausage breakfast courtesy of BTSLA Board Member Tom Hazell. After breakfast, the wrestlers received team hoodies and sweatpants then began to warm up in anticipation of the opening whistle.The largest turnout for any Beat the Streets tournament to date made for some hectic moments, but, in the end, every hand was raised and every medal awarded to the student-athletes who have worked so hard in preparation of the event.As Beat the Streets Los Angeles continues to introduce more and more Los Angeles girls and boys to our sports-based youth development program, we look forward to helping them continue to grow and develop into great young men and women through the sport of wrestling.Team ResultsMiddle School Division1.
