WOAH. If you weren't watching the WIAA Mat Classic XXXVII at the Tacoma Dome this past Saturday, you absolutely MISSED OUT!

Individual Brilliance From Tacoma to Yakima

But it wasn't just about team trophies, even though those are huge. We saw some incredible individual heroics too! Granger boys narrowly won the 2B team title, snagging a pair of individual titles along the way. And on the boys' side, Toppenish's Justyce Zuniga mirrored Montiel's achievement, also claiming his fourth individual title, pushing the Toppenish boys to a second-place 2A finish. Watching Zuniga in that final minute, a dominant career built on a fast pace, he finally slowed down. Can you imagine the emotion? Then there were the Granger girls, who fought hard for a runner-up finish in 1A/2B thanks to three incredible winners: Gabrielle Berger, who repeated her title, Sonia Mendoza, who finally got the title she'd been chasing for four years, and freshman Vanessa Torres, who just started her bid for that rarest of all prizes. The future is bright! What a weekend for wrestling in the Emerald State! The Tacoma Dome was buzzing, and these athletes laid it all out there. With so much talent emerging, you gotta wonder what these guys and girls will bring to the mat next year. Get ready, because these rivalries and champions are just getting started!
