Athletes from Ucluelet Secondary School will travel to Port Alberni Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, 2025 for the 40th annual Alberni Invitational wrestling tournament. Coaches Chloe Vernich and Golrokh Nouri are hoping for good things from the team.

Levi Duncan, Isla Duncan, Ava Duncan, Caitlyn Midlane, Estrella McLellan, Dia Arthur, Mila Besson, Wyatt Rhodes, Tucker Udell, Jett Bertin, Rhys Cannon, Silvester Mitezki and Kennedy Bruno are all on the roster to compete this weekend.

"My co-coach Golrokh Nouri and myself think our team is going to absolutely crush it," Vernich said.

Vernich and Nouri say Bruno, Midlane, Rhodes and Ava Duncan are all medal contenders.

Alberni District Secondary School has hosted 39 Invitationals and five B.C. High School Wrestling Championships, only pausing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
