Wrestling
Courtesy of Coach Tyler Thompson:
The Valdez Huskies took to the mat one last time for the season at the Tanana Invitational, also considered the middle school state tournament. Each and every wrestler gave everything they had and left everything on the mat. Our wrestlers did a great job keeping great attitudes even after facing some tough losses. After a 12 hour day of wrestling on friday the huskies had five wrestlers make it to the second day of wrestling. Corey Lent, Kai Montgomery, Jaxson Gallatin, Michael Cosgrave, and Dalen Beck each battled their way to the second day. Kai Montgomery, Jaxson Gallatin, and Dalen Beck continued to battle their way to earn a medal for their weight classes becoming Tanana State Placers!
Jaxson Gallatin placed 8th, Kai Montgomery placed 6th, and Dalen Beck placed 5th.
