The elementary school wrestling program in Port Alberni wrapped up several weeks of practice and play days with a tournament at Alberni District Secondary School on Friday, Nov. 4.
Wrestlers—many of them competing in the sport for the first time—from several different elementary schools gathered at the high school gym for a series of matches. Coaches and alumni from Alberni Valley Wrestling helped run the event.
