Virginia, Illinois, Fresno State. Fresno-area athletes reveal choices on national signing day
Many central San Joaquin Valley athletes will sign their letters-of-intent to the schools they chose on national signing day.
At Clovis Unified, 40 student-athletes will make it official, whether it’s Wednesday or Thursday.
Buchanan will send five wrestlers to the next level, including senior Maximo Renteria to Illinois. Renteria won three consecutive state titles.
Some high schools will host signing ceremonies.
Strict health and safety guidelines will be in place and there will be limited attendance because of the coronavirus.
Masks and social distancing will be required for the outdoor events.
If you know of any student-athlete who signed with four-year colleges this week, email agalaviz@fresnobee.com to be included on the list.
