Shorecrest Wrestling had an excellent showing at the State Tournament (Mat Classic XXXII 2020) last weekend, February 21-23, 2020 at the Tacoma Dome.

In the entire 59 year history of Shorecrest High School, only eight wrestlers have ever placed at the State tournament. The last time we had a state placer was Owen Donnelly in 2016.

On this weekend, there were 5 state placers!

The team placed 10th out of 61 teams in the 3A division.

A huge factor in the team’s success this year was the work ethic and leadership of the two senior captains: Kaiya “Kyle” Conway-Yasuyama and Trentyn “Trevor” Good, and the athleticism and dedication of senior Ian ”Martinez” Mortensen.

Individual results:

Trentyn Good (Senior) 152lbs - 3rd place

with head coach Bryan Officer

Thomas Rhodes (Sophomore) 113lbs - 4th place

Ian Mortensen (Senior) 170lbs - 7th place
