We have not only not had five wrestlers qualify since 2010, but Ian is the first freshman in a decade.” At 220 pounds, Torres (4-14 record) picked up two wins on the day, the first coming in the third-round consola- tion match over Jacob Griffin (Pendleton) by first-round pin (1:47). Torres then lost by pin at 2:27 versus Joseph Martin (Ridgeview), and earned an injury default win over Logan Jensen (Hood River Valley) to notch fifth place.

What matters most is what effort you put out there, how you compete, and after a good showing at districts, I am looking forward to even more from us at state.” DiGennaro, Abbas, Kendall Webber, Maisie Bandel-Ramirez, Paige Compton, Addison Little, Frances Fuller and Hannah Haight are going to be even better next season for the girls, and Kirby, Skyler Coburn, Cole, William Hoover, Jacob Comini, and a few others will make an impact for the boys. “We are already looking forward to where we will be next year,” coach Shortt said. “And we are feeling very good about it. But for now, we are just enjoying these kids, how far they have come and all that they have accomplished since the start of the season.” As part of the program mantra, coach Shortt preaches sportsmanship, courtesy, teamwork, togeth- erness, loyalty and hard work as the guidelines for his athletes to follow. They are much more than just swimmers to him—they are an extension of the com- munity and school. “We wish the parents could have heard the comments about their kids made by other coaches and swimmers in our conference over the past year,” coach Shortt added. “We wish you could have heard about how they appreciated the cama- raderie, the positivity and attitude of our kids. We have a great team. That’s because we have quality kids.” Wade Collins of Columbia Gorge Affordable Portable shows off a solar light and fan that he uses to keep his porta potties lit at night and fresher smelling during the heat of the day.
