Until this past weekend, the only wrestler to win four California state titles was former Cal Poly standout Darrell Vasquez. But on Saturday night, Justin Mejia changed all that at the CIF State Championships in Bakersfield, CA. The Clovis High School senior defeated Robert Garcia 3-2 to collect his fourth title and add his name to the state record books.

Mejia came into the tournament with an unblemished season record before claiming five straight decisions to make it to the top of the podium once again. Justin Mejia's history-making performance to become California's second four-time state champion ever makes him our FloWrestler of the Week presented by Cliff Keen.

Mejia's path to gold: 

Round 1: dec. over Anthony Loera, Yucaipa, 4-2
Round 2: dec. over Jose Fernandez III, Upper Lake, 11-5
Quarterfinal: dec. over Tyler Deen, Buchanan, 5-2
