Mesa was 3rd in 1990, 2nd in 1991, 2nd in 1992, 2nd in 1993. He was lightning quick and it was shocking when he lost in overtime in 1993 to a good wrestler from Topeka named Trembley who ended up winning 2 titles. He also lost to super wrestlers Clint Lopez and Bob Jaso. All matches were close with the exception of the Lopez match. In my opinion he was the best wrestler I know not to win a state title. He tore my teammate up and he was a state champ to go with a 2nd and 4th. Just seemed like to his credit that he always sought out the best competition.
