The Fremont Firebirds wrestling program has annually been one of the top teams in the Central Coast Section. Fremont has maintained a top-5 finish in the CCS year after year.

And it’s not just the boys getting it done; Fremont has had one of the strongest complements of girls wrestling each season. Back in 2018 and 2019, Melissa Lee finished first in CCS in her weight class. And this year, for the first time in many years, the Firebirds have a returning state placer in Aila Duus.
