A wrestling room that wins — at every level.
Mira Mesa Wrestling has been a force in San Diego wrestling for four decades. Head Coach Craig VanDyke (since 2012) has added 15 League Titles, 14 Conference Titles, a Girls Masters Championship, and two CIF Championships to a legacy that started with Noel Hall in 1981 and was built by Hall of Famer Jon Talbott from 1984-2009.
Off the high school mat, Mira Mesa Wrestling Club (MMWC) — our 501(c)(3) — runs year-round programming for ages 5 to 60: Fall Guys for youth, summer training for middle and high schoolers, and the adult/veteran/masters club coached by an active Team USA Veteran National Team Co-Head Coach.
