Livingston and Patterson eliminated Central Valley from the race for the Western Athletic Conference varsity boys wrestling dual-meet title last week.

The Hawks dropped from first to second in the WAC after being beaten by the Wolves and Tigers.

"There's a lot of disappointment in the room right now," head coach Rob Beckhart said. "It will be interesting to see how the guys perform on Wednesday. We have a history of wrestling tough against Ceres."

Central Valley fell to 2-2 in the conference standings after suffering a 43-31 loss at Livingston on Jan. 25.

The first-place Wolves moved to 4-0 in the WAC.

"We lost some close matches that were pivotal," Beckhart said.
