Starting with great news from Alberni Wrestling...well done gents!
Alberni
Wrestlers Make Canada Games Team
Two
local wrestlers travelled to Vancouver this past weekend to compete for a birth
on Team BC and be eligible to wrestle in the Canada Games in Quebec this
August. Nolan Badovinac (grade 10,
76kg’s) made the team and Jonathon Spencer (grade 12, 69kg’s) was
named as an alternate to the team.
Nolan
Badovinac after winning the Cadet National Championships a couple of months ago
found himself competing against wrestlers that were a year or two older. In the
Finals he was up against a grade 12 wrestler, Suhkman Sidhu from Abby
Traditional School. After winning the
First match in a best of three series, Badovinac had to come from behind to win
the second match and claim the birth on the BC team.
Jonathon
Spencer made it to the finals after beating Eric Bauer from St Thomas Moore. In
the final, Spencer was in tough and lost to Justin Gill from Rick Hansen
Secondary in a best of 3 winner take all. Spencer then was named as the Alternate
to the BC team in case Gill is not able to compete.
Head
coach John McDonald was pleased with the success of both wrestlers. “Nolan had
an opportunity to compete for Canada this summer at the World Fila Cadet
Championships in Serbia. However, after making Team BC he will likely turn down
this opportunity as the Canada Games only comes around every 4 years. The
developmental opportunities that are connected with the Games will pay off for
Nolan farther down the road if he plans to stay in the sport beyond high
school. Where Nolan is at now in his development this will not be the only time
he will likely get to represent his country on the international stage for
wrestling. Therefore, choosing to compete for Team BC this summer is the better
decision long term.”“For
Jonathon it was a positive way to end off a great grade 12 season. Coming
second at the Nationals Championships this year was awesome. Being named an
alternate to the BC team this weekend compliments the success he has already
had.”
Nolan
Badovinac now has a busy training schedule prior to the games. He will likely
travel to Vancouver on weekends and train with the Provincial Team. There will
be three training camps in the USA with team BC starting in June and going
through July. There will be a staging camp in Vancouver in late July at SFU
prior to leaving for the Games in early august in Quebec.
