    Clackamas adds nationally ranked Doyle

    OREGON CITY, Ore. -- The Clackamas Community College wrestling team had their work cut out for them this off season. The challenge? To replace a sophomore class that earned an impressive 15 All American honors out of a possible 20 that included back-to-back National Duals championships, back-to-back region championships, a third-place team finish (2014) and a national runner-up finish this season.

    Thus far Clackamas has added five to their incoming class, which includes multiple-time state champions, a Fargo champion and prep all-Americans. The past several weeks have netted five new commitments led by a top 100 recruit Colt Doyle of Poway High School in San Diego, Calif. Doyle is a two-time California state champ that is respected nationally among wrestling coaches and programs. He joins his teammate and good friend Andrew Tausch who committed to the Cougars in May.

    Joining Colt as a Clackamas Cougar is a host of in-state and out-of-state talent that includes 13 state medals and six trips to finals among them. Julio Fuentes will join the team as another very talented recruit out of the Golden State, while Brendan Harkey joins the Cougars from another nationally ranked program in Crook County High School. Also inking with the team is four-time state medalist Victor Almaguer and transferring in all the way from the state of New Jersey is Christian Stackhouse.

    Clackamas looks to continue a half decade of dominance among the NJCAA and maintain a streak of finishing inside the top four for five straight years and having never finished outside of the top eight in coach Josh Rhoden's nine-year tenure as coach.

    "Our team, alumni and fans are all really excited about the additions we have made over the past several months including a very big commitment here recently by Colt. We look forward to a very exciting year of wrestling and pushing hard to stay among the elite in wrestling at the Junior College level," said coach Josh Rhoden. "We have had a very good stretch here as we enter our tenth year with the program and we hope to have another ten just like it!"
