Wrestlers rule the gorge

Ten medalists, seven finalists and three champions helped the Washougal wrestlers climb to the top of the Columbia River Gorge Invitational Saturday, at Stevenson High School.

Roger Polanco and John Sutherland earned championship medals for the Panthers. When Washougal sophomore Jacob Brown pinned his opponent from Hood River Valley in the third round of the final match in the tournament, the Panthers snatched the team title away from Ridgefield by 2.5 points.
