SPORTS 4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, JULY 16, 2015 IT’S ALL ABOUT EXPERIENCE Ilwaco wrestlers host 300 at three-day camp ILWACO, Wash. — With more than 300 in attendance at last weekend’s three-day wrestling camp at Ilwaco High School, the organizers thought they should probably start out with a little motiva- tion. What they got was Dan Russell, a four-time national champion at Portland State University, who just so hap- pened to be in the area on a ¿shing trip with 1ate Carr, a bronze medal-winning Olym- pian. “Before we start, I want everybody to step off the mat, and I want you to close your eyes and I want you to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready to give 100 percent?’” said Russell as he addressed the amassed group in the center of Aase Gymnasium Friday afternoon. “When you’re ready, I want you to step on this mat and make a dec- laration. I want you to say ‘YEEEAAAHHHH!!!’” The noise echoed around the qui- et gym. Anyone who knows Ilwa- co junior Alec Bell should not have been surprised that he was the ¿rst one back on the mats, whooping it up by him- self, until the others joined him. Carr then gave a brief demonstration of a takedown technique before turning from grappling to God. He evange- lizing for around 10 minutes before having the group pray together. Unlike the wrestling camp the Ilwaco Fishermen partic- ipated in earlier this summer, this camp was a particularly physical one, with each wres- tler scheduled to have up to 16 matches over the three days. “Any time you can get on the mat and get more expe- rience is a bene¿t,” said Il- Damian Mulinix/EO Media Group Wrestlers warm up prior to the start of their first match Friday at Ilwaco’s three-day wrestling camp. waco coach .evin 0c1ulty, who noted that the majority of the teams in attendance were from larger classi¿ca- tion schools in both Oregon and Washington. “We’re wrestling the big boys. But it bodes well (for us) in season. They just have to get over the fact that it doesn’t matter the classi¿cation. You just have to show up and wrestle your opponent.” The Ilwaco Fishermen had about 20 wrestlers turn out for the camp. Among them was sophomore Royce Murry, who won his ¿rst match af- ter pulling an unconventional barrel-roll move.

The Federal Office of Justice said the man, whom it did not identify, was extra- dited on Wednesday after 50 days of detention in Switzer- land. “He was handed over to a three-man U.S. police es- cort in Zurich who accompa- nied him on the Àight to 1ew York,” the ministry said in a statement. The of¿cial agreed last week to be extradited, unlike six others who are ¿ghting ex- tradition. The extradition hearings are being held by Zurich cantonal (state) police in a process expected to ¿nish by early September, Swiss justice of¿ce spokesman Ra- phael Frei told the Associated Press on Thursday. Appeals to Switzerland’s federal criminal court and supreme court can extend the cases by several months. The extradited man is ac- cused of “accepting bribes totaling millions of dollars in connection with the sale of marketing rights to various sports marketing ¿rms and keeping the money for him- self,” the justice of¿ce said last week. All seven men were arrest- ed on May 27 in dawn raids on a luxury hotel in Zurich by Swiss federal police at the request of American federal agencies. They include FIFA vice president Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands and former FIFA vice president Eugenio Figueredo of Uruguay. Both have been suspended from football duty by FIFA’s ethics committee. The others are: Jose Ma- ria Marin, who led Brazil’s 2014 World Cup organizing committee; Eduardo Li, an elected member of FIFA’s ex- ecutive committee and presi- dent of Costa Rica’s football federation; FIFA staffer Julio Rocha, a development of¿cer from 1icaragua; 9enezuela federation president Rafael Esquivel; and Costas Takkas, a Briton who works for CO1- CACAF President Webb. A total of 14 men — nine football of¿cials and ¿ve mar- keting executives — were in- dicted by the U.S. Department of Justice in May, including disgraced former FIFA vice president Jack Warner, who is resisting extradition from Trinidad and Tobago. A further four, including American former FIFA exec- utive member Chuck Blazer and two sons of Warner, had their guilty pleas unsealed in May. They are alleged to have taken part in a racketeering of the Copa America tourna- ment. Blazer admitted sharing in a $10 million bribe scheme with Warner and a third FIFA voter to support South Africa’s successful bid for the 2010 World Cup. South African of¿- cials asked FIFA to transfer the money through the governing body’s accounts. U.S. authorities have said more indictments should fol- low, and FIFA President Sepp Blatter is a target of the wid- ening case. You Never Know What You’ll Find At A Collectors West Gun & Knife Show!
