Eisenmen wins all-around title

Fountain Valley resident Jake Eisenmen won the all-around Level 5 title Saturday at the Region 1 Championships in Chandler, Ariz.

Eisenmen, who trains at New Hope Gymnastics in Fountain Valley, also was first in four individual events: the floor exercise, pommel horse, rings and the vault. He was followed by New Hope’s Brandon Hsu, who was fourth overall.

Other top New Hope finishers included Yoshi Mori, who was fourth in Level 10, including second on pommel horse. He was followed by teammate Matt del Junco in fifth.

Nicholas Spiro was third in the Level 9 competition, including a first-place finish in rings. At Level 6, Cameron Bock was fourth all-around.

The top finishers at the upper levels now prepare for the Junior Olympic meet in May.

Duarte finishes season at nationals

Fountain Valley High senior wrestler Anthony Duarte went 1-2 at the National High School Coaches Assn. Senior Nationals over the weekend, concluding his high school career.

Duarte, wrestling at 171 pounds, lost a close first match to Zach White of Oklahoma, 6-4. He came back for a 12-9 victory over Connor Finn of Minnesota before his tournament ended with a 9-4 loss to Gabe Hocum of Washington.

Duarte said he wished he could have done better, but it was a good experience for the senior, who finished fourth place at the CIF State meet last month to become the Barons’ first state placer since 1985.

He was trying to become the first Fountain Valley wrestler to ever place at senior nationals.

“It felt good to represent my school,” Duarte said.
