More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.

Ingraham advanced 12 wrestlers on to the state tournament at the Tacoma dome this last week, a school record. Of the twelve, 4 advanced to make the blood round on the second day placing two of our Ram wrestlers in the 32 man bracket. Simion Mayo-Carrillo battled hard to capture an 8th place finish, and Diego Enriquez-Mayer captured a 6th place finish in the Tacoma dome.
Placing two wrestlers at the state tournament is another school record!
The Ingraham Wrestling team placed 23rd overall at the tournament and met their goal this year of finishing in the top 25 at the Tacoma dome!
Adriel Liau is the Washington State Academic State Champion! Congratulations on the incredible season, Ingraham wrestlers!
