More than 30 kids participated in a wrestling tournament in Unalaska on May 11. The showcase featured over 40 matches, making it the largest wrestling tournament on the island in over two decades, according to Coach Rainier Marquez.
In this episode of "Island Interviews," Marquez sat down with KUCB's Raider Sports reporter Matheas Lopez to discuss how the wrestling tournament went. He also talked about a new wrestling organization called “Trey’s Takedown Shoes Initiative” that aims to help get more students involved in the sport by buying them new wrestling shoes.
