Wetaskiwin wrestlers show skill at major meet

Submitted by Wetaskiwin Wrestling

The Wetaskiwin Wrestling team, including Coach Mike Spinney, Cari McDonnell and 11 young wrestlers went to a major meet in St. Albert the weekend of Jan. 23 and did they ever do well.

This was only their second tournament, and the first time that the goal was to pin your opponent. These young wrestlers will be very important to our future junior high and high school teams in the coming years.

A huge thank you to all the parents who make the commitment to get these young athletes to practices and tournaments! Here are the results:

Tykes (born ’08, ’09; participation ribbons as no points awarded for this age group): Sam Cross , Jenal Strong and Aiden Cormier.

Novice (born ’06, ’07): William Dormaar 1^st.

Kids (born ’04, ’05): Wilson Cross 1^st, Evander Russel 1^st, Carson Irwin 2^nd, Desma Manns 2^nd, Liam Norton 3^rd, Daniel Graham 4^th and Aston Strong 4^th.
