Olympic.edu. 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- ton State won the Apple Cup. Thursday 3 p.m., Shelton bowling vs. Mt.
