Albany Police Activities League Hosts Successful Tournament to End Season

Albany High School’s gym was filled with excited and talented boys and girls on Saturday, November 3 as the Albany Police Activities League hosted the Diablo Freestyle League wrestling tournament.  Several hundred young people from around the Bay Area showed off their wrestling skills in matches where they were paired by age and weight. 

All of the wrestlers did a fantastic job especially the younger Crocodiles (K- 5^th grade) who have little tournament experience.  The APAL wrestlers were rewarded for all of their hard work during practice with many medals.

League Champions included.   Roman Arechiga-Mendes, Austin Basye, Unubold Buyannemekh, Yeshi Choedon, Christopher Mowdey, Erik Nelson, Tiffany Wong, Ben Bac-Sierra
