Nanook wrestlers compete in Anchorage
By Corey Erikson,
Wrestling Coach
The Mountain City Christian Academy girls and boys wrestling tournament in Anchorage is the biggest 123A wrestling event of the year.
Nome wrestlers competed there last weekend and did very well, showing that we have a good shot at doing well at the state tournament. Eight boys and two girls made the trip.
At the end of the tournament, Nome had two wrestlers reach the finals: In the 160-lb category, Talan Johnson and in the 100-lb girls division Renee Brown. They each placed second.
In addition to our finalists, Nome had the following placers: 152-lb Ben Milton placed third; 112-lb Brant Bradley placed fifth, 135-lb Young Erikson placed fifth, 189-lb Rayden Cross placed fifth, 160-lb Kendal Ulroan was one match from placing, 145-lb Chris Smith was also one match from placing, 119-lb Trace Tucker DNP, 126-lb Leyna Ulroan DNP this time.
