MARYSVILLE — Marysville wrestling coach Craig Iversen has a dilemma on his hands.

With some promising athletes, particularly in the heavier weights, it can be quite a juggling act to fit all of his wrestlers into a varsity weight class. It doesn’t help when teenage boys grow during the offseason.

But it’s a good problem to have.

“It will take a few weeks of the season to see where we get lined up,” he said.

Iversen returns two state wrestlers for his regular season in Wesco North, widely viewed as one of the state’s toughest wrestling conferences. Senior Tannon Hillis won’t be hard for Iversen to place. The 6-4 senior comes off of a fifth-place finish at the state tournament Mat Classic last year and returns to compete at 215 pounds once again. Just a sophomore, Class 1B state champion Demitri Robinson grew some in the offseason, meaning he’ll be moving up from the 103-pound class he competed at last season. At exactly which weight he will wrestle this season remains to be seen. Robinson, who attends Tulalip High, competes on the Tomahawk team during the regular season, but competes in the state tournament as an individual at his high school’s classification level.

“Those are our guns coming back,” Iversen said, adding that he has eight guys with varsity experience coming back to compete for the 14 varsity slots. Those wrestlers fall primarily into the middle and heavier weights, including Hillis’ co-captain Ryan Mead, Cole Cushing, Brian Donaldson, Jake Lervold, Luke Shumaker and Brandon Blevins.

The Tomahawks graduated a third state wrestler, heavyweight Michael Pfeiff, and at least two guys figure prominently in the competition to fill that spot, Ricky Dschaak and Tylor Hall.

In other leagues, it might be easier to identify team goals with so many wrestlers coming back. But in Wesco North, with rivals like Snohomish and Lake Stevens not only probable league champions but possible state champions as well, Iversen talks about goals at an individual level.

“I think our goals are changing each week,” he said. “We want to get the most we can out of our athletes.”
