He came in ranked third at 132 pounds, widely considered the toughest Class 4A weight class in the state. But the savvy junior left as a champion once again, earning his third title. After a semifinal victory over a two-time silver medalist, Soler beat a fellow two-time champion, Timmy Martinez of Pasco, in the final.

“He was so calm and collected,” coach Brent Barnes said. “He’s just a great wrestler and a great competitor.”
