Rocklin Zinkin - Buchanan HS
Rocklin Zinkin – Buchanan HS
California’s Class of 2026 was a special group that featured an incredible amount of talent from top to bottom. This list recognizes the wrestlers who stood out among one of the state’s strongest graduating classes, including several CIF State Champions and a handful of multi-time State placers who built impressive résumés throughout their high school careers. These wrestlers competed against some of the toughest competition in the country and consistently represented California at the highest levels. Many have now moved on to major college wrestling programs, giving them the opportunity to continue their careers and chase championships at the next level. From state titles to national accomplishments, the Class of 2024 has already made its mark—and there is plenty more to come from this talented group.
