Four Bakersfield College wrestlers earned first-team All-Western State Conference honors Saturday as the Renegades finished second at the WSC championships at Gil Bishop Sports Center.
Vince Rivera completed an unbeaten conference season at 133 pounds. Bryce Horton (157), Alvaro Zermeno (165) and Zach Weldon (184) were other first-team selections.
