SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Somerton Toros wrestling program continues to make history.

The qualifiers include:

Boys: Jayden Preston, Dylan Anderson, Kenny Garcia, Diego Felix, Josiah Limones, Jesus Valenzuela, Andres Centeno, Jesiah Carpio, Peter Rivas.

Girls: Naylani Valdez, Briella Reynoso, Sarahi Pena.

This marks a significant achievement for the young program, as they continue to establish themselves as a force in Arizona high school wrestling.

The AIA State Championships will take place later this month, where the Toros will look to bring home individual and team honors.
