Shaner makes HRV history
HRV wrestling wrapped up its season this past weekend at the OSAA State Wrestling Championships in Portland at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The boys and girls had a total of nine wrestlers compete at state this year: Jason Shaner, Adrian Ramirez, Ryan Zeller, Chad Muenzer, Cade Parker, Justin Lane, Grace Miller, Christine Marquez and Elena Kroll.
Of the nine athletes who went to state for HRV, seven would earn podium-finishes, but only one would make Eagle history.
