“I didn’t believe it” were the words Baldwin Park junior wrestler McKayla Loza (172 Ib) said to herself when she beat the #1 ranked wrestler at Nationals in Oklahoma City.
It did happen for Loza and now she is on her way and is ranked #1. Loza pinned the National Champion from Kansas in a duals match.
“It didn’t hit me until I got the medal,” Loza said. “I was shocked.”
Loza also took third at Nationals in the individual round. She beat a wrestler from Wisconsin.
Since her impressive day at Nationals Loza has been getting offers from different colleges, but she does not want to know what colleges until it is over.
Loza doesn’t want to know what colleges are interested in her talent, because it makes her nervous but according to her mother there have been five colleges but according to her coaches there has been at least 10 offers. But she will not make any decisions or discuss anything until it is all said and done she wants to stay focus.
