Shelton wrestlers prepare for tough competition
AUTOMOTIVE
2033 Olympic Highway North • Sheltol
By EMILY HANSON
The Shelton wrestlers spent last week training hard for
two separate tournaments this week.
The varsity squad began competing at the Pac Coast
Championship on Wednesday, Dec. 28 at Hudson Bay
High School and are set to continue competing on Thurs-
day, Dec. 29.
The junior varsity squad is competing on Thursday,
Dec. 29 at the North Mason Classic tournament.
"Pac Coast is a great mid-season thermometer and we
expect to do very well," Chris Lacy, head coach, said. "Our
JV will be competing in a varsity tournament. They're
absolutely ready; we wouldn't be doing it if they weren't
ready."
Lacy said that, judging on records alone, the most suc-
cessful wrestlers this season are Jakeob Garrick, Ty Mc-
Cullough and Colby Barber.
"There are so many kids doing well it's hard to single
anyone out," Lacy said. "The wrestlers that have had the
most dramatic improvement from last season to this sea-
son are Adam Coffman, Ben Anderson and Kusiah Mc-
Cullough and we've been getting great leadership from all
of our seniors, especially Johnathen Dennis and Skylar
Core."
Because of winter break, the wrestlers had Dec. 19
through Dec. 23 to practice for these two tournaments.
"We're having very intense practices this week and next
to get ready for those two tournaments," Lacy said. "We're
treating those like our mid-season postseason because our
intensity is where we want it for the postseason."
The last time Shelton attended the Pac Coast Tour-
nament was in 2005. That year, the Highclimbers came
home with one champion: Zach Corbett at 275.
"This is the first time we've gone back because we didn't
feel like we had a team that was ready for Pac Coast,"
Lacy said. "Last year, we tried to get in but the tourna-
ment was full."
Fourteen Highclimbers will be competing among 36
teams during the two-day tournament while Shelton will
be sending as many junior varsity wrestlers as they can to
the 16-team North Mason Classic.
