Young Wrestlers Show Grit at Sierra Nevada Classic

The local youth wrestling team put together a strong showing at the Sierra Nevada Classic, turning in a full day of hard work, growth, and lessons on the mat.

While several wrestlers earned 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place finishes, coaches said the bigger win was seeing athletes test themselves against tough competition and identify areas to sharpen as the season continues.

“This was a great measuring stick for us,” coaches said. “We saw progress, effort, and the kind of grit that leads to improvement.”

Representing the team at the tournament were first place: Harleigh, Kaidan, Hudson, Kypton, Raymond, Landon, Baylee; second: Zack, Clace, Bradley, Mickey, Zayden, Connor, Cole, Jazmine, Hunter, Easton; third: Remi, Finn, Lucas, Anthony, Chael, Wyatt, Peyton, Breyson, Atticus, Karson, and Maudie.

With medals earned and experience gained, the team now turns its focus to getting back in the practice room and building on what they learned.
