La Conner High School wrestlers Delaney Cobbs and Kaliana Bill have grabbed spots in the Washington State Mat Classic at Tacoma this week.
Cobbs was runner-up in the 190-pound weight class of the Northwest Regional Girls’ Wrestling Tournament in Sedro-Woolley on Saturday while Bill qualified for the Tacoma brackets by placing fifth in the 155-pound division.
Cobbs lost only to undefeated No. 1 seed Alivia White of Marysville-Pilchuck in the Regional 190s title round match. The senior, 20-3 on the campaign, has suffered her only three defeats this year at the hands of White, who will arrive in Tacoma with a 31-0 mark.
At Regionals, Cobbs earned a quarterfinal victory over Kourtney Etheridge of Lake Stevens and a semifinal triumph against Shane Jiminez of Bellingham.
Bill, also a senior, bested Anika Garner of Marysville-Pilchuck in the Regional quarterfinals. She secured her trip to Tacoma by downing Drew Banuelos of Snohomish in the clash for fifth place.
Cobbs and Bill compete on a co-op basis for 2A Burlington-Edison since La Conner does not have a wrestling program.
The 2022 Mat Classic is scheduled this Friday and Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.
