To qualify for the Northern California Invitational, a wrestler had to finish in the top four at CCS.

The Outstanding Wrestlers awards at NCI, included all wrestlers at the meet. The Top Wrestler award was voted on by the coaches.

Before CCS expanded to allow up to 30 wrestlers in each weight class, wrestlers had to qualify through what was called the Region IV meet. The following wrestlers placed at the Region IV meet, but failed to finish in the top four at CCS.

Kevin O’Conner, Greg Lopez, Bob Martin, Paul Gabriel, John Munoz, Pat Rodriguez, Rick Hand, Don Dumller, Kurt Likins, Robert Raffaelli, Randy Hand, Richard Matoza and Karl Goin.

The All American awards to Mark DiGirolamo and Craig Deane were issued by the Scholastic Wrestling News.

The following four are the only four SC wrestlers to compete at the college level, during my time of coaching from 1963-82

Mark wrestled at Cal Poly only one year even though he won a NCAA championship. He decided to drop out to become a commercial painter.

Craig wrestled all four years at UCLA.

Kip Herren received a scholarship to BYU, but elected to transfer to San Francisco State, where he went on to do very well. He was a successful high school wrestling coach in Washington and is now superintendent of the Auburn High School District.

Greg Ronning wrestled at California Lutheran University for two years, before the program was dropped. Both years CLU won the Southern California NAIA championships. Greg went to the Nationals in West Virginia and Kansas, but failed to place. He went on to be ordained as a minister and has been the campus pastor at Texas Lutheran University for 19 years in 2010.
