House honors five-time Sedro-Woolley wrestling champions

House Resolution 4714 sponsored by 39th District Reps. Kirk Pearson and Dan Kristiansen honoring the 2006 Sedro-Woolley High School Wrestling Championship Team received adopted February 27 by the House of Representatives.

Earlier this year, the Class 3A Sedro-Woolley team captured its fifth consecutive team state championship; a state record tying five consecutive Class 3A wrestling championships and finishing with a school record of 197.5, 83 points ahead of the closest competitor.

“Coach Jay Breckenridge should be proud of the tradition he has created in Sedro-Woolley,” said Pearson. “Wrestling is the world’s oldest and greatest sport, or so it’s said, and to have our own dynasty of local high school wrestling champions is an honor to our community and our state. Coach Breckenridge has done an outstanding job with these young kids. Not only are they successful in their sport, but they are achieving high marks in their classes as well. They continue to make Sedro-Woolley and Skagit County proud. I’m honored to have them recognized in such a meaningful way.”

“These young people and their coaches have done a great job of establishing a winning tradition that instills pride in their school and their community,” said Kristiansen. “It’s appropriate that the Legislature recognize their continuing achievements as student-athletes, both individually and as a team.”

Each year, the House offers resolutions honoring outstanding achievements around the state. This is the fifth year the House has honored the Sedro-Woolley High School Wrestling Team.
