Shorewood wrestlers defeat Mariner for first time in school history

The Shorewood Thunderbird wrestling team made school history Thursday, beating the Mariner Marauders, 39-31, for the school’s first victory ever against them. It was a close match with Shorewood holding a slim 15-11 lead after six matches.

However, the T-birds pulled away and sealed the victory with a pin by freshman Erca Erdenebayar at heavyweight, putting them up 39-21 with two matches to go. Other standouts included senior David Ball losing a hotly contested 3-2 match to returning state placer Max Welsh and sophomores Rikio Campbell and Mathew Floresca each improving to a perfect 5-0. The Shorewood junior varsity also won, 24-6.

The Shorewood varsity has a 3-2 overall dual-meet record and 0-1 Wesco 3A record going into a tournament at Bonney Lake High School Saturday.

Shorecrest competes in a tournament Saturday at Decatur High School in Federal Way after losing a dual meet at Monroe, 38-33, Thursday.
