More than 250 budding young wrestlers descended on the Cloverdale High School gymnasium on Feb. 29 for the second annual Iron Eagle Wrestling Tournament.
The all-day event featured kids from as far away as Eureka competing in several age groups and divisions, from five years old to high school. Some 30 medals were awarded to the top athletes in each division.
“The bond we have with all the schools is strong, so strong that coaches from different schools wrestled live after,” Cloverdale Wrestling Club officer and Tournament Director Mike Toninato said. “Most schools even helped clean up after word.”
