Prep wrestling: E-W, Meadowdale wrestlers qualify for regionals

Edmonds Woodway had 12 wrestlers in the finals and six champions to dominate the 3A Wesco South – Kingco Sub Regional Wrestling Tournament held at Edmonds Woodway High School February 1-2. The Warriors had 428.5 points, outscoring second-place Meadowdale, which had 255 points. Meadowdale had five wrestlers in the finals and two champions.

The Edmonds-Woodway girls wrestling team, meanwhile, had a champion and five placers to take 6th place in the 29-team sub regional tournament held at North Creek High School Feb. 1-2.  The Warriors had 96 points. Everett won the team championship with 306 points.

In the boys sub regional, the first three weights of the finals featured Edmonds-Woodway grapplers against each other. In two final matches, cross-town rivals from EW and Meadowdale battled for the championship. In the 126 lb. final, Warrior Grayson Le Compte defeated the Mavs JinHo Lee 6-3 in a physical tough fought battle. LeCompte, a senior, was awarded Wesco-KingCo 3A High School Wrestler of the Year by a vote of the coaches.

Warriors’ Brian Alfi was voted Coach of the Year by his peers.

In the other Warrior/Mav matchup, at 170 lbs., Meadowdale’s Saul Hernandez pinned Warrior Christian Simpson.

As the Warriors prepare for regionals, Edmonds-Woodway Asst Coach Josh Williams says his team is peaking at the right time of the season. “The performance of a strong freshman and sophomore class in the finals along with our upperclassmen gives us the balance we need heading toward next weekend.” Williams said. “This team is working hard in the wrestling room to be focused and ready.” He added.

The top five finishers in each weight advance to the regional tournament at Inglemoor High School Feb. 9. Edmonds-Woodway advances 18 grapplers. Meadowdale advances 11.
