From the Sideline

“On Feb. 2, Gabe Sena won the North Puget Sound League title at 132 pounds. Despite wrestling with an injured knee that could have ended his season, Gabe pushed through and dominated his weight. He is a captain of the wrestling team and a returning state wrestling tournament qualifier. His win last weekend puts him in a great position to make a return trip to the Tacoma Dome. Gabe has faced many obstacles this season, but he has fought through them to have a solid season in which he has only suffered 3 losses.”
