PIN HER! Jamie Striker, 15, and Pamela Haugland, 14,: square off in an afternoon practice
at Skeena Junior. About eight local girls are involved in competitive high school wrestling.

Terrace high school
wrestlers pin top spots

Terrace wrestlers came
away with four first place
finishes at ihe Prince Rupert
Invitational January 27.

Coach Dave O’Brien says
Roseanne Blackburn, Tanya
Middleton, Francis
Genereaux and Ajit Jaswal
al] took top spot in their
weight classes.

Eight Terrace wrestlers
finished in second spot, and
two came home with third
place finishes.

“They did quite well,”
says O’Brien. ‘‘There was

big layoff between their last
meet in December and this
one, but they did perform
well, particularly the girls.”’
The girls finished first
overall in the three team
meet; the guys took second.
He says about half a dozen
girls have committed them-
selves to the sport this sea-
son, but only one is a
veteran from last year.
‘Last year was the firsi
year girls were involved in
wrestling,’ O’Brien says.
“They approached me and

asked me to coach them, but
once they hit grade 11 they
seem to lose interest.”?

Most of the team mem-
bers, both girls and guys,
are in grades eight and nine.

The youngest competilor
though is in grade six, and
the oldest is in grade 12.

Most of the kids are from
Skeena Jr., but O’Brien says
two are from Caledonia, and
one is in elementary school.

The team is now preparing
for the Northera BC Winter
Games in Prince George on
