Recently, the Los Alamitos High School Wrestling Booster Club selected Kenny and his wife to receive the Susan Nelson Award for Dedicated Service to the sport of wrestling. Three years ago the booster club set up an academic scholarship in his name to support athletes wishing to continue their education at the college level.
He was fortunate to see his son awarded one those scholarships this year. Mr. Torres is currently a science and math teacher at The Education Corps charter school in Long Beach.
