La Grande High School
Wrestling Champions Awarded Rings
On Friday, September 1, during halftime at the La Grande Tigers football game, seventeen LHS wrestlers were celebrated. The wrestlers who won the 4A state championship this past spring received their championship rings. Three wrestlers who won individual state championships also received their rings, as well as the six team managers and Wrestling Coach Klel Carson and his five assistant coaches.
District representatives who presented the rings were Superintendent George Mendoza, School Board Chair Randy Shaw, LHS Principal Chelsea Hurliman and LHS Athletic Director Darren Goodman. Chair Shaw said, “It’s very special to be able to celebrate these athletes and coach and recognize the phenomenal work and effort it takes to achieve a state championship. It never gets old to see their smiles and see how proud they are, as they should be.”
La Grande School District and School Board congratulate Coach Carson and the wrestling athletes on this accomplishment!
