Cal Poly Humboldt Athletics

Cal Poly Humboldt wrestler Jayson Victoria has been named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Men’s Wrestler of the Week for his standout performances in Oregon this past Friday and Saturday. 

On Friday, at No. 9 ranked (NAIA) Southern Oregon University, Victoria produced one of the night’s most exciting results, pulling off a stunning 5-4 victory in a triple-overtime decision over Southern Oregon’s second-ranked Evan Potter at 149 pounds. 

Following up on that thrilling win, Victoria delivered a gritty 7-2 decision over Corban’s Bo Davis at 149 pounds. 

As a university, Corban is ranked No. 13 nationally in the NAIA Top-25.

Victoria, a freshman from Dublin, CA, is the first Lumberjack to earn MPSF Wrestler of the Week honors since the program was relaunched this season. 

“That was probably one of the most exciting matches of the year on Friday,” Humboldt head coach Lennie Zalesky said of Victoria’s performance. “The entire match was action packed and a great environment to be in with the loud crowd. I’m proud of the way he fought to the end against a No. 2 ranked opponent and glad he got recognized with this weekly honor.”
