Valley Medical Center is reporting a 20 percent decrease in births at its hospital since MultiCare acquired Auburn Regional Medical Center in October 2012.
Valley officials call the decrease a blip, not a trend and they feel they can rise above with increased services and patient access to care.
In October 2012, the switch moved MultiCare doctors, who had previously delivered babies at Valley for years, to start delivering at Auburn Regional Medical Center.
“So we have seen a drop that was anticipated once the acquisition was completed,” said Dr. Bob Thompson, vice president of physician relations at Valley. “So it wasn’t a surprise.”
Valley still has more than 300 deliveries a month compared to MultiCare Auburn’s 110 deliveries a month. But Auburn’s numbers are up from 40 deliveries a month before MultiCare took over the facility.
“We have brought Auburn into a MultiCare practice and standardized approach,” said Christi McCarren. She is

King County Sheriff ’s Office teams were searching Lake Kathleen this week for a 51-year-old man who went missing Jan. 31.
On Feb. 7, a woman called the sheriff ’s office to report her son missing. The man lives in a trailer on her property and hadn’t been seen since Jan. 31, when he left but told her he would be back to watch the Super Bowl Feb. 2.
No one has seen or heard from him since.
According to the sheriff ’s office, depu-ties learned the missing man uses an alu-minum rowboat to get to the north end of Lake Kathleen, located off Southeast 128th Avenue in the Renton Highlands. Once across the lake, the man secures the boat and continues on foot or uses the Metro Transit System.
The missing man’s mother told depu-ties the boat was not on their property but also not where he usually parks it on

On March 3, the renton community Foundation will offer a free planned giving workshop. Local nonprofit staff and volunteers are invited to attend.
“The ability to attract planned gifts is critical to a nonprofit’s future,” said Foundation executive Director Lynn Bohart. “Planned gifts come from a donor’s assets rather than their current income. “
in this highly competitive fundraising market, Bohart said nonprofits need to have a basic understanding of planned gifts and the wherewithal to accommodate donors who wish to give them.
according to Bohart, the renton community Foundation is willing to serve as that resource.
“not only will we provide free information,” said Bohart, “we can help donors with the more complicated gift vehicles, such as charitable remainder trusts or life estates.”
The seminar will be targeted specifically at nonprofits that do not have the budget for professional fundraising or planned giving staff.
The renton community Foundation has partnered with US Bank’s charitable Services Group for the seminar. US Bank manages the Foundation’s $7 million portfolio and provides additional services. William Dolan, JD, Vice President with US Bank charitable Services Group will be the featured speaker.
The workshop is scheduled for 1 to 3 p.m. March 3 at St. Matthew’s Lutheran church. For more information about the seminar or to register, call the Foundation at 425-282-5199, or email Bohart at [email protected].

She’s got the sweets for your sweet and this Valen-tine’s Day season Sandra Wixon is bracing for heavy traffic.
The chocolatier re-cently opened her shop Sweet Decadence Wine and Chocolate Bar in The Landing and has already received a lot of attention, even before this week’s candy-heavy holiday.
A successful business owner for six years of the same store in Newcastle, Wixon moved down to The Landing when her lease was up in December. So far business has been good with lots of customers on
the weekends, at night and moviegoers at various times.
“It’s actually pretty crazy between this (Valentine’s Day) and December; it gets pretty intense,” Wixon said of past seasonal experi-ences.
She’s up into the night making her confections, sometimes until 1 a.m. In the morning, she starts the day baking pastries, mak-ing sauces, mixing truffles,
scooping, rolling and dip-ping chocolate. Her shop, off of North 10th Place in The Landing, has the heav-enly aroma of chocolate upon entering.
The most popular of her confections right now are her salted caramels and Joe Cools, which her husband Ron calls “Reese’s on steroids.” The Hazelnut Baconator and Butter Beer Nut chocolates are also very popular.
Typically, for three weeks in December and three days around Valentine’s Day, Wixon’s shop sees the most business. On Valentine’s Day she gets lots of last-minute shoppers looking for tasty gifts.
Her Tipsy Turtle, for example, is made with Jack Daniels; the alcohol burns off in the cooking process.
“I was a bartender before, so I have some pretty funky (recipes),” said Wixon. “I like mixology; I have a lot of fun with it.”
She’s been a self-de-scribed chocolatier since age 19. Wixon has no formal culinary training but picked up chocolate making when she made her own chocolates for her wedding.
“My mom was a phe-nomenal cook,” she said. “She was one of six kids, five brothers, so she was the one to cook for all those people.”
Wixon was always peer-ing over her mother’s work in the kitchen and paying close attention to what she did. She spent some time in the mortgage business; but when the Newcastle loca-tion opened up, she decided to follow her hobby and opened Sweet Decadence.
She’s now won awards for her confections at the Enumclaw Chocolate Festival and placed in the top seven in the Evening Magazine Best of Western
Washington contest. Wixon reads lots of
books and tweaks lots of recipes to suit her own taste and come up with her ver-sion of chocolates.
Thursday through Satur-day her shop features wine and chocolate pairings. Tastings involve taking three sips of wine and fol-lowing them with bites of chocolate after each one.
“We find that every wine goes with chocolate, but not every chocolate goes with wine,” she said.
Wixon likes explain-ing the subtle differences between her chocolate can-dies, bon bons and truffles to customers and the fun involved in naming them.
“The chocolate names, it makes a difference because if people just see dark truffle it’s not as interest-ing,” she said.
Some creations started as accidents, but took off in popularity, so she contin-
ues to make them. Sweet Decadence’s Burnt Caramel started exactly as that and the “super popular” Kasie Ann Caramel began with the wrong ingredients.
The shop has eight employees and Wixon said moving to The Landing has been a really positive experience.
“It’s been cool and I love the businesses around here,”
she said. “It’s kind of nice to have camaraderie with other business owners.”
Sweet Decadence is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Thursday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday. The shop is located at 827 N. 10th Pl., Suite B in Renton’s The Landing.
Chocolate is sweet success for business owner

Talk about a buzz kill: Cartoonist strikes out
To the editor:Geez Louise. After all of these years we
win the Super Bowl, with a spectacular, joy-ous team, in an overwhelming win over an icon. We have the largest rally in Seattle his-tory, which is marked by happiness, peace-fulness and joy.
And the one detail the editorial cartoonist chooses to focus on is that the Mariners still suck?
That takes a particular talent to find a dark speck to focus on amongst all of this joy. Congratulations, Debbie Downer!

It’s boomer time; make long-term care priority
For the next 18 years, approximately 8,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day. By 2030, one in five Washingtonians will be considered elderly – and many will need long-term care. Reliance on government sup-port for long-term care needs will continue to grow as baby boomers age.
The future looks startling to those of us who comprise the “silver tsunami” and is downright alarming for thousands of Wash-ingtonians who rely on the state’s Medicaid system to pay for long-term care services in nursing homes and assisted-living centers.
Assisted-living Medicaid rates haven’t been updated in nearly a decade and were cut by 6 percent from 2010 to 2012. Nursing-home rates were last updated in 2007. Rates fell short by over $100 million in 2012 – and more than half the state’s nursing homes lost money.
Failure to update rates creates prob-lems at the bedside, where care quality is truly defined. Seventy percent of the cost of long-term care is wage- and labor-related, thus financial losses equal lost jobs and that translates to lost quality. This is simply not sustainable.
Washington Health Care Association has represented skilled and assisted living providers in Washington for more than years. Our 400-plus members tell us that the issue of appropriate funding does not change because of shifting demographics.
Washington’s system of facility-based, long-term care is threatened as never before. Now, as in the future, when a loved one’s care needs can’t be met at home, it’s critical that trained and certified staff are available to provide quality care in a cost-effective, safe and highly regulated care setting.
Please call the Legislative Hotline in Olym-pia today at 1-800-562-6000 and let your legislators know that seniors matter.
Tell them skilled and assisted-living care must be a priority in the supplemental budget.
Robin DaleCEO, Washington Health
Care Association
Jay Inslee endorsed the death penalty for his entire political career.
But once the Democrat became governor and got his finger on the switch, he realized he couldn’t push it.
He pronounced Tuesday that no death-row in-mate would be executed on his watch.
“This is a hard decision given what this means to everybody in our state,” he said. “I’m at peace with it. I’m comfortable that this is the right decision.”
He did not commute the sentences of the nine in-mates now on death row; he’s given them a reprieve during his time in office and a future governor still could authorize their execution.
And Inslee didn’t propose erasing the death-pen-alty law voters tried to put in place and lawmakers did 33 years ago. He’s left that task to others.
Still, will Washington ever conduct an execution again? Maybe not.
With its long winning streak in gubernatorial races, Democratic Party leaders are confident Inslee can capture a second term in 2016 when the death penalty will certainly be a campaign issue.
If this happens, executions would be on hold until 2020.
Any Democratic candidate looking to succeed Inslee at that point would be hard-pressed to publicly reject the approach of the party’s reigning incumbent.
Turns out one prominent Democrat who might consider running already knows he doesn’t
want to do executions either.Attorney General Bob Ferguson said Tuesday he
agreed with the governor’s rationale for pushing the pause button on executing death-row inmates by lethal injection or hanging.
He declined to elaborate Tuesday. But his opinions on the death penalty aren’t a secret.
They came into sharp focus in the 2012 campaign for attorney general when Ferguson made clear he opposed the law but would uphold the state’s right to impose capital punishment.
He implied in a March 2012 statement to Wash-ington State Wire it included conducting executions in some cases.
“I have long been a supporter of the men and women who risk their lives to protect our communi-ties, and should a tragedy occur on my watch where an officer is killed in the line of duty, I will use every legal tool available under law, including capital pun-ishment as appropriate.”
In that campaign, opponents questioned that resolve by citing comments he made to a student law journal in 1993 after he worked on a case for the Arizona Capital Representation Project. His efforts as a researcher in the appeals case for a cop-killer on death row resulted in the inmate gaining legal representation.
Ferguson told the magazine: “The reason I went to law school was to work against the death penalty. I see absolutely no justification or support for execut-ing people. But after this experience I came away feeling almost radicalized against the death penalty.”
Fast forward, and Ferguson finds himself deeply involved in defending the state’s death-penalty law.
Inslee’s decision may make it possible for Fergu-son to be less so as it turns out neither one of them is interested in seeing executions proceed.Political reporter Jerry Cornfield can be reached at 360-352-8623 or [email protected]

the vice president of Mul-tiCare’s Careline admin-istration and oversees the birth centers.
“It’s a collaborative approach that decreases practice variations and promotes best practices for OB patients,” McCarren said.
MultiCare spent about $950,000 to get staff up to speed and for upgrades at the new Auburn Medical Center.
“MultiCare added Au-burn to its system because we have always wanted to be able to meet all of our patients’ health-care needs, including access to inpatient facilities and a birth center, close to their homes in South King County,” said Marce Edwards, MultiCare spokesperson, via email. “MultiCare has had clinics and doctors in South King County for decades, and those providers now use Auburn Medical Center as their hospital. That includes the obstetricians in the area as well as other specialties.”
MultiCare’s obstetrics department is trying to of-
fer innovative ways for pa-tients to receive care. One service they’re marketing is virtual visits via video chat between pregnant women and their health-care providers. The service recently allowed a solider in Afghanistan to wit-ness his wife’s ultrasound procedure with a doctor. These types of visits have taken off in the last two years, McCarren said.
The virtual visits are Mul-tiCare’s attempt at “trying to increase access and make the experiences more personable to (families),” she said.
Another marketing push the MultiCare system is putting forth is offering its pediatric services as part of its birth and delivery package. MultiCare lever-ages its services by offering care at its MultiCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma. Its neonatal in-tensive care unit, or NICU is also located at Tacoma General Hospital.
This pitch to expecting
mothers that may require NICU services at Mul-tiCare Auburn Medical Center makes some Valley officials skeptical. The pitch does not make sense logistically to Valley of-ficials because MultiCare’s Level IIIb NICU is at Tacoma General Hospital, not Auburn.
“The model of care here is putting to-gether a team of clinicians, who are available in-house 24/7 to address any potential emer-gency issues related to moms coming in and moms’ babies,” said Thompson of Valley’s ser-vices.
Valley prides itself on having a Level III NICU at the hospital and also growing numbers of clients in their southend clinics in Kent, Covington and Maple Valley. Officials hope the combination of the NICU and the clinics will sway expecting moth-ers their way.
Valley Medical still has a high volume of births a year. The hospital projects
a 3,600-birth minimum per year and had as many as 4,000 births a year in their birth center.
“The reduction in volume that we have seen since the abrupt transition of MultiCare’s patients south isn’t in any way a significant drop from us from the standpoint of maintaining all of our services we’ve always had,” said Thompson. “So it isn’t like, ‘Gosh now we don’t have enough patients, we need to change the breath or scope of all of our services’.”
Valley officials are hearing that patients want more obstetrical care in places like Kent, Maple Valley and Covington.
“So part of what we’ve been able to do in the last year is increase the number of physicians who deliver babies and have them have an office in those communities where they’re underserved,” said Thompson.
With a birth volume they count as one of the highest in the region, Val-ley staff doesn’t seem too concerned about the dip.
“So yes, we have lost, but I have every confi-
dence that we’re going to regain that market share back because of who we are and what we offer in this community,” said Judy Roudebush, Valley’s vice president of Women’s and Children’s Services.

A few weeks ago, Seattle artist Benson Shaw was working on the new public art display on the corner of Rainier Avenue and South Grady Way when suddenly, an out-of-control car came careening over the curb and smashed into a pole.
Benson darted out of the way and there was some damage to the pole, but thank good-ness, he
saw it coming in time to avoid being hit.
“I admit I had an adren-alin rush when I saw the car coming toward us!” he remembered recently.
The new gateway to Rent-
on, formally titled “Going Global,” is getting plenty of notice. Shaw was selected to design the new gateway project by the Renton Mu-nicipal Art Commission in January 2011. It’s a com-ponent of a larger capital project for Rainier Avenue improvement through the Department of Transporta-tion.
From Benson’s web-site: “Going Global is an optimistic assessment of Renton’s past, current and future cultures. It expresses Renton’s civic ideals of adaptability and fluidity. The ‘wave’ references Rent-on’s myriad connections to water. Duwamish peoples and other early inhabitants harvested the bounties of this wetland site.”
I recently met with Ben-son as he was doing some final installation details on that intersection. As he stood high on a ladder, wearing a yellow hard hat and adjusting a blue globe on top of a pole, I thought he might be a city worker; but I soon realized it was Benson himself!
We spoke while he con-tinued to work. I admired the beautiful mosaic he had created on the low stone
wall circling the intersec-tion. “Welcome to Renton” was imprinted in blue mosaic tile and the wall was surrounded by a wave of shimmering blue globes on top of poles. The globes are made of a clear resin casting embedded with mirrored reflective sequins of blue glass chips. The arc of varying-height globes reminded me of both ocean waves and a solar system of
revolving blue planets. Shaw is a well-recognized
artist in Seattle, specializing in public art and historic restoration. In addition to creating his own art-works, he collaborates and sub-contracts with other artists in planning, design development and fabrica-tion. Multiple materials and intricate connections are typical in his pieces. He works closely with client agency personnel, design team and community groups to integrate art into a greater project.
Benson said he was a science kid growing up but also loved all things artistic.
He achieved his graduate degree in science while also taking graduate courses in fine arts with an emphasis on sculpture.
When he met with Renton city planners and art commissioners in 2011, he said they all agreed they wanted something beyond a simple monument. He said it was a “superior experience” as they worked together with enthusiasm to create what was to be a great success. They re-viewed potential locations in terms of traffic, utilities, and pedestrians.
“We attended neighbor-hood community groups and were sensitive to aes-thetics and the artistic pref-erences of local people,” he said. “I began by looking at the site context, researching the area, history and other information. I asked ques-tions about what people in Renton would find appeal-ing – possibly something iconic. And the Arts Com-mission was looking for art that was solid and bold – a gateway ‘wow!’”
We were joined that day by Arts Commissioner Evelyn Reingold who has been a part of the original team since the beginning of this project.
Evelyn told me, “We selected Benson Shaw because he had by far the most impressive design,

By Brian Beckley
The King County Council on Monday unanimously approved the creation of a Transportation Development District, a separate taxing district that will have the authority to generate revenue for transit, roads and transportation other projects.
The idea was first proposed by King County Executive Dow Constantine in January. While the vote on Monday cre-ates the district, a ballot measure is neces-sary to increase taxes or raise revenues, something the council will decide later
this month.The plan is to replace an expiring $20
car tab fee with a $60 fee, beginning in June as well as adding 0.1 percent to the sales tax, with 60 percent of the revenue raised going to Metro Transit and 40 percent going to roads.
The county estimates $80 million in new revenue from the tabs and an ad-ditional $50 million through the sales tax increase. The estimated impact is $11 per month for the average household in King County.
The Renton City Council heard a brief presentation Monday and there was a consensus to support sending the measure to voters, though no member of the council weighed in on whether they would support the measure should it
make it on the ballot.The money for roads would be split
based on the population of each munici-pality. Officials estimate it could mean $2.5 million for Renton in the first year.
Councilmembers spoke of the need to fund Metro, which is facing a huge budget gap and has announced plans to reduce services by 17 percent later this year if ad-ditional funding is not found. In Renton the reduction would mean the deletion of six routes and a revision/reduction of 10 additional routes, though, according
to Public Works Director Gregg Zimmer-man, none of the six busiest routes in the city would be affected.
Mayor Denis Law said he thought it was in the “best interest” of the city to let voters make the decision, especially be-cause a lot of transit riders in Renton and farther south would be affected.
“That being said,” he added, “it’s still a lot of money.”

the other side of the lake.The man is unemployed and does not have a
cell phone. None of his friends have seen or heard from him either since one friend saw him in the boat Jan. 31, rowing southbound on the lake.
The King County Sheriff ’s Marine/Dive unit located the boat on the west side of the lake. The row boat was found with the missing person’s back pack inside. No Life Jackets were found.
One oar was also found on the east side of the lake, while the boat was located on the west side.
The Marine Unit deputies initially called off the search due to a significant amount of ice still on the lake, but deputies are checking conditions daily and planned to resume the search in the water when conditions allow.

The view of this new Renton beacon is a spectacular site after dark, lighting the night near where previous genera-tions of Renton youth still reminisce about “cruising the loop.”
I drove by recently and was awed by the spectacle but I was careful not to lose control of my car while admiring these bright blue celestial globes glow-ing in the night.
As an art commissioner for the city of Renton, I take some personal pride in this beautiful new addition to our city.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a mea- surable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest accord- ing to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173- 201A-320.Comments can be submitted to:Department of EcologyAttn: Water Quality Program, Construction StormwaterP.O.

Hazen wrestling narrowly missed taking the 3A Kingco/Seamount Championship wrestling tournament by a margin of 4.5 points. Mercer Island edged the Highlanders out after re-taking the lead in the team points race late in the finals matches.
While the Highlanders fell short, they wrestled very tough despite the absence of wrestlers at 170 and 285 pound weight classes, accord-ing to their coach.
“If we had our 170 and 285 pound wrestlers, there is no question that we take
the title,” said Coach Rory Magana in an email. “It is what it is…”
Hazen crowned three champions and had five finalists. The team will be sending 10 wrestlers and one alternate to the 3A regional tournament at Skyline next
weekend. These 10 wrestlers will fight for their chance to chase a state championship at the Tacoma Dome on Feb. 21 and 22.
In addition, Hazen will also be sending two girls to the fe-male regional championship.
At 106 pounds, Tyson Mowrey won his bracket by pinning his way through. After trailing 2-0 through the first round, Mowrey elected
Renton, Lindbergh and Hazen wrestlers moving on
Lindbergh High School finished first and Renton finished second in this past weekend’s 2A sub-re-gional wrestling tournament at Tyee High School.
Lindbergh first-place winners include Colton Maddy (126 pounds), Westerling Nugent (138), Di-ego Gallegos (170), Joey Hernendez (182), Trevonn Russell (195) and James Garcia (285). In addition, Chad Omonka (113), Jayden Schwope (120) and Devon Maddy (132) all placed second in their weight classes while Zach Goe (106) and Tristan Demond (152) finished third and Javon Willis (145) and Derek Armstrong (160) finished fourth.
The Lindbergh girls wrestling team also compet-ed in a sub-regional seeding meet at Mount Vernon this past weekend. Olivia Jollimore (155) won her weight class and Abby Chufar (118) finished second.
The 2A regional tournament is scheduled for Saturday at Hockinson.
Lindbergh finishes first, Renton second at 2A sub-regional meet
Hazen just misses team title, sends 10 boys, two girls on to regionals
By BRian BeckLey
A decision by the Sea-mount League to not give medals to winners at the 2A wrestling sub-district meet this past weekend has some parents upset.
In the past, winners at the sub-regional meet, for-merly the Seamount League Championships, received medals but according to Renton Athletic Direc-
tor and Seamount League president Brian Kaelin, the league’s split to both 2A and 3A schools made it so there were no official “Seamount Champions” so handing out medals simply “didn’t work.”
Instead, this past weekend’s meet functions as a seeding meet for the regional tournament and winners were given the paper brackets from their weight class, as a keepsake,

Ask AnExpert....Pet Obesity
Excess weight is a serious health problem for dogs and cats and is common in many countries. The two main causes of obesity are too much food and too little exercise. Other contributing factors can be due to hormonal in� uences, certain genetic factors, and other disease processes.
If your pet is carrying extra weight, it can:• Increase the risk of heart disease by forcing
the heart to work harder.• Increase the risk of arthritis as extra weight
can stress the joints, cause joint pain, and make it harder for your pet to move around comfortably.
• Obesity can cause breathing problems, skin and hair coat problems.
• Especially in cats, obesity frequently leads to diabetes.
All of these problems can make your pet uncomfortable and limit the way they interact with you and other family members.
Treatment is to rule out and treat any medical causes, such as hypothyroidism. Reducing caloric intake and increasing exercise can help your pet successfully lose weight. Lifestyle changes and a weight loss program are essential. Your veterinarian can help determine if your pet is too heavy and provide guidelines for achieving their ideal weight.

showing them moving to the top and claiming victory.“It’s a 2A sub-regional, not a Seamount League meet,”
Kaelin said Tuesday, adding that the winners were not league champions, but simply the top seed for the regionals.
However, multiple parents contacted the Renton Reporter to complain about the lack of medals, citing other meets, such as the 3A sub-regional in which the Seamount’s 3A schools competed with the KingCo league and first-place awards were given out, some-thing Kaelin said he was planning to look into this week.
Kaelin said he was unaware that medals were given at other meets and said he was also told no medals were given last year, but given the outcry both he and the Reporter received, he said that must not have been the case.
Kaelin said he would discuss the issue with other members of the Seamount League and perhaps a league championship may return in the future, but unfortu-nately for those who won this year, that may simply be cold comfort.
“I don’t know what we can do,” he said of this year’s winners.

to start in the neutral posi-tion. In dramatic fashion, he defended his opponent’s shot and put him on his back at the edge of the mat in a defensive counter move. Tyson earned the fall just inside of the mat border. Mowrey earned a No. 1 seed in the regional championship.
At 138, Zach Moore won his bracket by earning a technical fall. He domi-nated his opponent to the point that the match was stopped in the third round because he had racked up a 15 point lead.
At 182, Jairo Barahona wrestled the best tourna-ment out of all of the Highlanders. In all of his matches, there was never a point where he was in trouble. In the finals he electrified the crowd when he hit a feet-to-back move so exciting that it shocked
some and excited others. With that pin, Barahona
put Hazen in the lead for the team championship by 1.5 points. The lead was short-lived, however, as Mercer Island nailed down the team championship in the next match by pinning a Mount Si opponent.
In the girls tournament, the Highlanders will send two to the regional cham-pionship. At 145 pounds, Shauna Barnhart took third place. Barnhart has been battling injury all season, but has started to peak just in time, according to her coach.
“She’s scrappy and isn’t afraid to roll with the guys,” Magana said.
At 155, Raven Svenson did what she’s done all year: finished in the top three. Svenson took third place this weekend after losing a tight semifinals match to a Lindbergh wrestler.
