After 21 years the Shorewood Thunderbirds wrestling team has finally won the Shoreline Invite.

As the host school the T-Birds have had many second places, but have never been able to call themselves champions. Behind the strength of 13 individual placers, Shorewood held a 19 point lead over Granite Falls Tigers as the finals began. Six of the eight Thunderbird finalists won, Matthew Floresca (132lb), Erik Harris-Uldall (138lb), Dawda Dibba (145lb), Konnor Carpenter (195lb), Ben Avila (220lb), and Erca Erdenebayer (285lb), as Shorewood ran away from the competition for a final margin of 215.5 to 177 over the runner-up Tigers.

Crosstown rival Shorecrest placed nine wrestlers and had one individual champion, Spencer Coffee at 106lbs, as they placed 4th.
