Three Sun Devil wrestlers claim individual titles at Reno TOC

RENO, Nev. – Sun Devil Wrestling sent a total of six student-athletes to the annual Reno Tournament of Champions hosted at the Reno Events Center on Sunday, Dec. 21. Of the participants, Arizona State had three wrestlers stand atop the podium with individual titles to round out a well-represented showing over the weekend.

While team scores were not kept, junior An’ee Vigil (125 lb), redshirt senior Cael Valencia (174 lb) and freshman Ben Szuba (HWT) each went perfect on the mat in their respective weight divisions to secure a trio of first-place finishes. 

Valencia (5-0) recorded four technical fall victories, while Szuba (5-0) knocked off the number one, two and three seeds in the HWT division en route to championships. 

Additionally, redshirt freshman Joseph Manfredi (165 lb) turned in a runner-up effort, while redshirt senior Tristan Mascarenas (125 lb) and freshman Gabriel Delgado (157 lb) each reached match limits over the course of the action. 

With Vigil, Valencia, and Szuba all claiming individual titles, the Sun Devils have now earned nine different individual champions so far in tournament action during the 2025-26 season.
