On Feb 14th, Divisions were held at Paradise HS in Paradise. Kate Early (107), Arabelle Starr (132), and Shelby Martin (157) all finished second. Carmie Downey (147) took 4th; all girls secured a spot to compete at the Master tournament the following weekend.
From the boys side Theran Isbell (167) took 3rd, Blake Hansen (152) placed 4th, Ian Shelton (159) and Aiden Beal (128) placed 5th, all securing a spot to compete at Masters. Kale Facey (177) placed 6th, securing a spot as an alternate at Masters at Las Plumas HS in Oroville. Both teams (girls and boys) took first place in the team tournament.
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.
