Coached by their parents, Santa Ana High’s Serratos sisters dominate girls wrestling

February 27, 2025

The three Serratos sisters of Santa Ana High are a force to be reckoned with in high school girls wrestling.

The sisters — Alicia, Anabelle and Angelica — took a combined record of 104-12 into last week’s CIF Southern Section Girls Masters Meet at Sonora High in La Habra. Two of the sisters, Alicia and Angelica, won their respective division and will compete this week in the CIF State Championships in Bakersfield. The meet begins Thursday and ends Saturday night.

Their parents, Fernando and Monica, who are both former wrestlers and are now coaches for Santa Ana, have been guiding them along the way, celebrating every victory and providing support in the rare low moments.

At the Masters Meet on Feb. 21, Alicia, 18, a senior, won the 105-pound title (Blue Division), Angelica, 15, a freshman, won the 100-pound title (Blue Division), and Anabelle, 17, who is a sophomore, finished out of the top spots at 125 pounds (Gold Division).

That was against the top wrestlers in the CIF Southern Section.

There is a good chance there will be more celebrations this weekend at the state meet for the Serratos family, which is enjoying its journey together — and all of its successes — on the wrestling mat.
