Sophomore Weston Thomas leads a contingent of three wrestlers from Medical Lake who will compete for state titles at Mat Classic XXIX in Tacoma Friday and Saturday, Feb. 17 – 18.
Thomas, who will wrestle at 113 pounds, finished third in regional competition at Omak last weekend. Thomas lost a second-round bout to Freeman’s Hunter Nees, but worked his way through the consolation bracket, scoring three consecutive pins, the final over Kyon Ray of Colville in 2 minutes, 12 seconds.
Senior Braden Wirth finished fourth at 145 pounds, also wrestling through the consolation rounds, but losing his bout for third place to Juan De LaCruz of Chelan.
Also qualifying at 145 pounds is Sam Griffey, a junior who will head to state as an alternate.
