Wrestling 2016-02-13 - Regional tournaments

Six is the magic number.

Or, with a little luck, it could be eight.

The Oak Harbor High School wrestling squad sent 10 grapplers to districts Saturday and emerged with two individual champions and four other state meet qualifiers.

Two other 'Cats earned alternate spots and would go if a wrestler ahead of them can't compete next weekend in Tacoma.

Oak Harbor edged Glacier Peak to nab fourth in the team standings at districts, with Arlington cruising to the title over a 15-school field.

Sam Zook (285) and Dymond Piper (152), who had been champions at sub-regionals, repeated at districts.

Piper ripped off a pair of pins, then won a 12-5 decision in the final, while Zook pinned his first foe in 25 seconds, then won a pair of hard-fought decisions.

Joining them at state will be Caitlin Woodworth (2nd at 155), Meredith Bain (3rd at 190), Blake Servatius (4th at 106) and Zach Aketch (4th at 145).

Garrett Stahl (113) and Blake McBride (126) both finished 5th and are alternates, while Michael Lym (6th at 132) and Nick Dugin (DNP at 170) were eliminated.
