Vashon’s youth wrestling program, the Rockbusters, wrapped up its regular season and began the trek to league championships last Saturday at the high school gym.

The sub-division tournament of the Pierce County Junior Wrestling League was hosted by Vashon and saw grapplers from Franklin Pierce, Montesano, Eatonville, Auburn and Steilacoom all compete to move on to the division tournament this Saturday.

Coach B.J. Nelson reported that Vashon’s 13 combatants fared well, ending the day with 11 top-four placers and two alternates.

Champions in their weight classes were Mackenzie Walker, Chase Bradrick and Colin McIntyre. Taking second were Joshua Parrish, Isaac Escovedo and Bryce Coley.  Third place went to Ferdi Escovedo, Ethan McIntyre and Moses Kilpatrick. Finishing fourth were Carlos Arteaga and Boe Miles. Rounding out the group as alternates in fifth place were Johna Henson and Ryan Nelson.

The Rockbusters who are moving on to the division championship will be recognized before the high school home dual meet on Friday.
