Wrestlers maintain weight while others gorge
During Thanksgiving, a lot of
people enjoy copious amounts
of turkey dinner and all of the
fixings.
This is a tough time for one spe-
cific group of people, however. This
group's members must maintain
their weight in order to compete and
stay lean to keep up during prac-
tices.
These people are wrestlers, and
for them, Thanksgiving can be tough.
"We coach them to eat Thanks-
giving meals, but to control their
portions," Shelton head coach Chris
Lacy said. "Or, we tell them if they
eat a lot to get some good workouts
in."
When I lived and worked in
Tonasket, I heard of one wrestler
who loved Thanksgiving so much
and was so upset that he couldn't get
the fantastic dinner, that his mother
would remake Thanksgiving din-
ner for him every February. It just
became a part of his family's life:
Thanksgiving in February.
Curious, I asked
a few of the Shelton
wrestlers how they
handle maintaining
their weight while
everyone around
them pigs out on
turkey. It turns out
most of them are
By EMILY pretty well-disci-
HANSON plined.
Senior Shelby
Salisbury, who wres-
tles at 152, said he just eats really
small portions and then goes running
when he's done.
Senior heavyweight Ben Anderson
said it's easy for him.
"I eat as much as I want because
I'm a heavyweight," he said.
Junior Kaitlyn Woods, who wres-
tles at 120, said she also eats small
portions and works out more.
At 145 pounds, senior Malachi
Conklin detailed how he eats on the
big day.
"I usually just get one to two slices
of turkey and eat five deviled eggs
that fills me up pretty well," Conk-
lin said. "I've been wrestling for 14
years, so it's become a habit, not eat-
ing very much for Thanksgiving."
Satisfied with the healthy and ma-
ture way the wrestlers were handling
what I consider to be a sad fate -- I
love Thanksgiving dinner -- I talked
to former Highclimbers Johnathen
Dennis, who now wrestles for North
Idaho College in Couer d'Alene.
"We have to run, exercise when we
can and eat small portions," Dennis
said. "Mostly, I stay away from food
that comes in a box. Homemade is
not as fatty."
With the holiday now over, the
rest of us have returned to our regu-
lar eating habits, but the wrestlers
still have to maintain weight. I'm
glad to see that so many of them ap-
pear to be doing that in a healthy
way and hope the rest are as well.
Finally, on a completely unrelated
note, I'm still totally jazzed Washing-
