But just this time I want you to list all the local kids who competed in state freestyle and the Greco-Roman championships. If you refuse, you don\u2019t get to ride in the Green Hornet anymore, and I know you relish those moments when we ride around town counting the potholes. You\u2019ll do it? Unbelievable. You have gotten old. Older then sin. Now go get me a tall latte.\u00a0 All the following information has been supplied by Ty Michaelson, coach of the Northwest Washington Wrestling Club.\u00a0 \u2026 <b>\u00a0Kitsap County&#8217;s Youth Wrestlers Best in Washington. <\/b>Forty-three young athletes representing Kitsap County and the mighty Northwest Washington Wrestling Club (NWWC) traveled to the Tacoma Dome on May 3, to compete among Washington&#8217;s top freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers at the Washington \u00a0Freestyle &amp; Greco-Roman State Championships. The annual state tournaments drew over 1400 wrestlers from 97 teams throughout the state. .. The NWWC&#8217;s\u00a0<b>Brandon Forster<\/b>\u00a0of Port Orchard, age 16, and\u00a0<b>Haley Michaelson<\/b>\u00a0of Bremerton, age 13, each won individual Freestyle State Titles while\u00a0<b>Diego Clemen<\/b>\u00a0of Bremerton, age 10,\u00a0<b>Seth Dawkins<\/b>\u00a0of Tacoma, age 10,\u00a0<b>Thor Michaelson<\/b>\u00a0of Bremerton, age 10 and\u00a0<b>Cole Tate<\/b>\u00a0of Belfair, age 10, went undefeated for the day, winning both Freestyle &amp; Greco-Roman State Titles. Michaelson also received the prestigious Triple Crown Award by finishing first in all three state wrestling tournaments in 2014 (folkstyle, freestyle and Greco-Roman). As a team, NWWC won the 2014 Freestyle Team Title and placed second at the Greco-Roman Championships. \u2026 In total, 35 NWWC wrestlers placed in the top-8 and returned home with medals. Bantam through Cadet-age medalists also earned the right to compete for Team Washington at the 2014 USAW Kids\/Cadet Western Regional Championships in Pocatello, ID over the week of June 15th.
