Dylan Drope and Ethan Sullivan took 4th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Alice Clements won 1st<\/sup> in an exciting battle.\u00a0 Alice was no match for any opponent, going undefeated at provincials and finishing the entire season of competition without ever getting pinned.\u00a0Alice becomes only the second wrestler from the Sunshine Coast, following in the footsteps of Elphinstone\u2019s Scout Stipec, to win gold at Provincials. \u00a0Lia Trent and Alana Krinapai from Elphinstone and Atticus Erlenbusch from Chatelech wrestled well and made their coaches proud.\u00a0 Elphinstone Girls finished 6th<\/sup> in the Province out of the 165 high schools that competed.\u00a0 This has been the team\u2019s best season on record despite all the adversity faced.<\/p>

The top wrestlers from the Coast have now been invited to compete in the BC Summer Games, Canada Summer Games and Nationals.\u00a0 They will continue to train both on Coast and with the top coaches in the province. \u00a0The team has been invited by several clubs to visit and train with them throughout the Lower Mainland.\u00a0 Alice now looks ahead to compete in Washington State, representing Team BC, in the next few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>

A very special thanks to John Brisebois, Elphinstone Secondary principal, and Mark Sauer, Chatelech Secondary principal, for their incredible support of the teams this year. Athletic Directors Jamie Mani and Owen Schutz played a vital role in keeping the teams organized and registered. Superintendent Kate Kerr\u2019s leadership and guidance through these difficult times was essential in the success of the team.<\/p>
