MOSES LAKE – Many athletes spend time over the summer working on their craft – that’s no different for Moses Lake sophomore Reese Prescott, who placed sixth at last month’s 2023 USA Wrestling 16U National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota.
“To even place at Fargo, I felt really cool and (I was) happy and excited about it,” Prescott said. “I went to this big tournament, I ended up placing. You look at your teammates around you and some of them are cheering you on and everyone’s still there – I just thought it was really cool.”
MOSES LAKE – Many sports have youth organizations that help prepare young athletes for future competitions. Whether it’s soccer, football, basketball or swimming – wrestling is no different.
“If you start playing seven-on-seven at a young age, or AAU basketball, eventually that is going to transition, hopefully, into a successful high school student-athlete,” said Jaime Garza, a coach with the Moses Lake Wrestling Club. ‘That’s what we’re trying to do.” .
