Etna HS Wrestling had another outstanding weekend at their home tournament that they co-
hosted with Yreka HS on Jan 10 th at the State of Jefferson Invitational.
The Girls team took second place in the tournament with individual first place finishes by Kate Early (105), Arabelle Starr (130), Carmie Downey (145) and Shelby Martin (155).
The Boys had an exceptional tournament as well, with Aiden Beal (132) 1st , Theran Isbell (175) 1st , Blake Hansen (150) 3rd , Jacob Holland (150) 4th , Cruz Downey (165) 4th , and Ian Shelton (165) 5th .
Michael (AKA “The Hawk” as he jokingly referred to himself in the military) went to the Air Force Academy – arguably one of the least fun and most rigorous universities in the country. He graduated with a degree in biology. Wrestled throughout college and then decided to enter the Air Force Combat Rescue Officer/ Pararescueman Pipeline where 1 out of 10 trainees graduate. In his class, 17 out of the original 142 made it.
So, you could say he was a cool guy. Jumped out of airplanes, climbed big rocks, cut people out of cars, fast roped out of helicopters. Highly trained in personnel recovery, combat search and rescue. Just your average day.
