It was a tough first outing for the Shorewood wrestling team on Saturday as they began their season at the Edmonds Invitational at Edmonds-Woodway High School. 

In a tournament filled with top ranked wrestlers from thirty-three schools from across the state the Thunderbirds definitely showed some rust from the offseason. 

While the whole team showed promise, three wrestlers took home medals as senior Kody Carpenter at 152 pounds and freshman Hunter Tibodeau at 195 pounds each took 7th place while senior Devin Leach captured the 152 pound title.

Shorewood wrestles next at Mariner High School on Tuesday, December 10th.
