Monedero comes to JCU out of Cabrillo High School in Lompoc, California. She was a qualifier in the 2022 California State Wrestling Championships at 160 pounds.

“Lydia is a great addition to our women’s team,” Brown said. “She is a California state qualifier who is a well-rounded wrestler with great mat awareness.”

Bryant is from Beaumont, California where she graduated from Beaumont High School. Bryant was also a qualifier in the 2022 California State Wrestling Championships at 150 pounds.

“Natalie is a California state qualifier,” Brown said. “She is a strong, powerful, athletic wrestler, which will make her a tough opponent for many in her weight class.”
