BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 The Summit High School wrestling team lost just one match in a dominant showing versus Middle Park and Clear Creek at the Tigers\u2019 tri-meet Tuesday night at Summit High School.<\/p>\n

Entering the meet, Tigers head coach Pete Baker said the team was ready for the challenge Middle Park presented, a side that usually gives Summit a run for its money.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut last night, we were just better,\u201d Baker said. \u201cI stressed the most to them that that\u2019s our home. You don\u2019t let somebody come in and beat you at your home, and the kids bought into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baker said it\u2019s the best performance for Summit at a home meet in at least four seasons. Summit\u2019s weight-division champions included P.J. Trujillo at 106 pounds, Gio Marquez at 113, Luca Rizzo at 120, Brandon Daniel at 126, Aidan Collins at 132, Sylas Mansteller at 138, Angel Villat at 145 and Graham Kalaf at 195.<\/p>\n

Baker said he was particularly impressed with Collins\u2019 and Rizzo\u2019s performances last night.<\/p>\n

\u201cAidan is such a workhorse, and he straight outworked his opponent,\u201d Baker said. \u201cLuca, he just went out there, and he wrestled with fundamentals. I told him we needed the pin to get team points to the get the win as a team. And he put the kid on his back and pinned him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baker also highlighted Mansteller\u2019s wrestling Tuesday night. In an exhibition match, Mansteller wrestled up at 152 to accommodate a visiting wrestler, as Summit doesn\u2019t have anyone at 152.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kid was real aggressive,\u201d Baker said. \u201cA lot of people thought he would hammer Sylas. We told Sylas to slow the match down, and in the second period, Sylas pinned him.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the Tigers\u2019 top-three wrestlers and state meet contenders \u2014 Trujillo, Marquez and Daniel \u2014 Baker said the lead trio is working on improving fundamentals with regionals coming up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need more power,\u201d the coach said. \u201cWe need to not be so passive in our wrestling. We need to use our hips. We need to wrestle with more grit.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the moment, Trujillo is the sole ranked Summit wrestler, fifth in classification 4A at 106 pounds. Baker said he\u2019s confident Trujillo is one of the top-three wrestlers at his weight in the state. On the heels of a loss to the state\u2019s top 106-pounder, Baker said Trujillo is focused on spending more time in the weight room to make up for the natural strength disadvantage between him and older competition.<\/p>\n

Summit next wrestles at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the Alameda Invitational.<\/p>\n
