MARYSVILLE – Drew Hatch, a standout wrestler at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, was named WIAA Athlete of the Week, the state announced Jan. 8.
Hatch won the Pacific Coast Championships at the 182-pound weight class. He pinned his first three opponents and won the final 13-5. Hatch beat two past state champions in the tournament.
Each week during the school year, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association recognizes 12 varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifications, who exhibited an outstanding performance the previous week.
Each winner receives a congratulatory letter from the WIAA, a commemorative t-shirt and a certificate. Winners are also posted to the WIAA website at www.wiaa.com. Austin Joyner, another M-P athlete, won the honor earlier this year for football.
