Blaine boys wrestlers cruised to victory at the Lynnwood Classic on December 15, beating 10 other schools and crushing even the second best school with a team score of 181.5 compared to runner-up Shorecrest High School’s 125 points.
Three Blaine wrestlers took first in their weight classes: junior Gavino Rodriguez (220), and seniors Jake Westfall (195), Aidan Button (170) and Ethan Deming (160).
