LOCAL WRESTLER PLACES SECOND IN WESTERN REGIONALS

By: Frederick Green June 22, 2008

Fifth grader Frederick Green of Orting, qualified for the Western Regional tournament in Pocatello Idaho, when he won state championships back in April of 2008. Fred stayed in shape for the June 15th-21st tournament by working out with a few of the local high school wrestlers, and it paid off. He placed 2nd in the 80 lbs. novice division for folkstyle, 3rd for greco roman, and 2nd for freestyle, which is his favorite. After 6 days of wrestling and 1600 miles of travel he is back home to show off his medals.
