SHS WRESTLING: Spartans put on good holiday show
Published 3:33 pm Monday, December 27, 2010
Instead of stagnating during the holiday break, the Sumner High wrestling squad has instead chosen to be more like a rolling stone that gathers no moss.
The Spartan grapplers traveled to Tumwater Dec. 18 and 19 where they participated in the 11-team Pat Alexander Tournament and finished fourth.
Zach Wooding took the gold in his 145-pound weight classification.
Also, going all the way to the championship bout was freshman 103-pounder Travis Filleau, who was narrowly defeated to finish second.
Finishing third meanwhile were 130-pound Jed Schliesman, 135-pound Jeremy Jackson, 160-pound Jared Schliesman and 171-pounder Matthew Wilson.
Additionally, first-year SHS wrestling coach Matthew Harshman had his mat men competing in a four-team invitational at Enumclaw Thursday where the Spartans gave up matches to Kentwood and Kentridge.
