In review:
Wrestling: Conrad Woodhead, president of the Anchor Kings Wrestling Club, has another recap of how the team did at a tournament in Wasilla last weekend:
“The Anchor Kings traveled to Wasilla this past weekend for two days of wrestling competition in both the Greco and Freestyle disciplines. Miles Tressler and Russell Nyvall produced third place medals during the Greco Tournament. Tressler wrestled in the Intermediate 61-65 pound division, while Nyvall wrestled in the Schoolboy 111-119 pound division.
“In the Freestyle Tournament, Justus Grimes received second place in the intermediate 57-60 pound division, while Tressler won his second medal of the tournament, placing second in the Intermediate 60-61 pound division. Nyvall’s younger sister, Alysha, found her way to the podium with a second place finish in the Novice Girls 74-78 pound division. Landyn Woods fought his way to third place in the intermediate 65 pound division.
“The Kings head to Nikiski (this) weekend.”
Also attending Wasilla’s “Ultimate Challenge” tournament were the Popeye Wrestlers. Storm Cavasos speaks to how they performed below:
“Nine Popeye wrestlers attended Wasilla’s ‘Ultimate Challenge,’ a two-day tournament. Popeye wrestlers picked up two medals in Greco Roman wrestling; Delan Barnard received second place and his brother Lucas finish third.
“The second day, another pair of siblings placed in the Freestyle portion of the tourney. Kanin Kumfer battled his way to second place while his sister, Hayden took third in the girls’ division.
“Gabe and Joshua Bradshaw fought hard through a couple of tough brackets to bring home a third place ribbon each. Saoirse Cook had a long weekend, competing in the Greco, Girls and Folk style tourneys but ended up placing third in the Girls. Both Preston Szymoniak and Storey Cook made valiant efforts but came up a little short this time.”
