MOBILE, AL – 18-year-old Eros Correa of San Jose became the first Bay Area native to win the U.S. Olympic Trials since Andre Ward in 2004 with a 22-18 decision victory over Reno’s Santos Vasquez in the light flyweight final.


Correa avenged two previous losses to Vasquez earlier in his amateur career, and with Friday’s win, he also becomes the first San Jose fighter since Louis Molina in 1932 to earn a spot on the Olympic Team.
