The Alberni District Secondary School wrestling team recently participated in the provincial wrestling championships held on February 21 and 22 at the Pacific Forum in Vancouver. Despite being a young team comprised of one grade 12 student, two grade 11s, and the rest in grades 9 and 10, most of whom had their first taste of competing at such a high level, they delivered remarkable performances.

Nolan Cross and Kane Olsen shone in the 45kg weight class, finishing second and third, respectively. On the female side, Danika Currie impressed with a fifth-place finish in the highly competitive 54kg weight class. Many of the wrestlers achieved personal bests, showcasing great potential for the future of Alberni wrestling. The boys’ team also managed to place in the top 10 in team points—an outstanding achievement.

The ADSS coaching staff is incredibly proud of our athletes for their strong representation of our school. The rest of the province knows that when they step on the mat against an Alberni wrestler, they’re in for a tough match.

Here are the Alberni wrestlers who competed at the provincials this year:

Female

– 5th place: Danika Currie – 54kg

– Janna Hiltz – 57kg

– Kamryn Mallon – 60kg

– Abigail Silvester – 69kg

Male

– Silver Medal: Nolan Cross – 45kg

– Bronze Medal: Kane Olsen – 45kg

– Mohammed Abed – 48kg

– Evan Jimenez – 48kg

– Reese Gatenby – 57kg

– Gavin Fong – 70kg

– Dayson Larson – 74kg

– Alex Bielert – 130kg

In an emotional presentation, Coaches Richelle McKenzie and Chris Bodnar awarded the Bobby McKenzie heart & hustle scholarship to one male and one female grade 12 BC athlete for their commitment to sport and community, honoring the late Alberni wrestler.

This concludes the high school wrestling season. Wrestlers will take a well-deserved week off before the start of the spring club season.
