I would like to nominate the next Press-Telegram Athlete of the Week as being Mayfair's Crystal Espinosa. She won the California State Championship for girl's wrestling for the THIRD year in a row. Although girl's wrestling is not a CIF recognized sport, it is a sport that requires a ton of athleticism she is definately deserving. Thank you.
