Antolin placed fourth at 189 pounds. The Westmont senior opened CCS with back-to-back pins after getting a first-round bye. Antolin won by fall at 2:33 against Andy Armstrong of Bellarmine, then pinned Jared Jenkins of Santa Cruz with eight seconds left to wrestle.

He ran into No. 1 seed Ben Reynolds of Cupertino a match later and was pinned but fought back to beat Kevin Roy of St. Francis 5-4 to keep his hope of a state-qualifying finish alive. But the talented Westmont wrestler was pinned in the second round in the match for third place. Elias Castillo of Silver Creek took the third and final state berth and Antolin ended up in fourth place.
