Gone, Lost & Forgotten: Their Best = Long Beach City

 The final season for varsity wrestling at Long Beach City was 1980-1981.  Long Beach State soon followed after dropping their program after the 1983-1984 season, ending collegiate wrestling in the community.  As to Viking wrestling, I wasn't able to find much beyond a few names and a few accomplishments. 

Mike Bertetto at 134 lbs was 4th at the 1973 CCCAA

John Leifer at 158 lbs was fifth in 1973 & runner-up in 1974 CCCAA

Art Straus at 158 lbs was crowned the Vikings final place-winner with a sixth place CCCAA finish in 1981.
