Behind the strength of our two 3rd place finishers in Corbin Lee (120) and David Kim (182), MSJ places 13th in a 69-team field at the 37th annual Mission San Jose Invitational.
After not competing since the Doc B in early January, Corbin Lee made his return to the mat this weekend as the #5 seed in one of the deeper weight classes of the tournament. Highlights of his tournament include an exciting 4-3 decision win over #4 seed Chris Caldwell of Las Lomas HS, a NCS runner-up last season, in the quarterfinal round. After dropping to defending state champion Daniel Gaytan of Clovis HS in the semifinals, Corbin battled all the way back for a 3rd place finish and showed he is ready for his post-season run to Bakersfield.
David Kim also pulled off an upset win in the quarterfinal round to guarantee himself his first MSJ Invitational medal. Competing as the #6 seed, David cruised to the semifinals with a 8-3 decision over #3 seed Jacob Richards of Fort Bragg HS. Richards won the Lou Bronzon back in December and is ranked #8 in NCS and HM in the state rankings. David dropped his semifinal match to Ryan Davies of Clovis HS, who is ranked 5th in CA, but also battled all the way back for 3rd, making a strong statement for his post-season aspirations later this month.
