A standout La Conner High School wrestler went a long distance to spend a short time on the mat last weekend.

But that was a good thing in terms of Delaney Cobbs preparing for big matches ahead.

Cobbs, a senior wrestling on a co-op basis with the Burlington-Edison High School girls’ program, captured top honors in her weight class at a two-day invitational meet in Othello.

She pinned four opponents in a combined time under four minutes to win the 190-pound weight division championship.

It was a dominating performance.

“No points were scored on her the whole tournament,” said Cobbs’ mom, Mandy Buck, a Swinomish Tribal Community paraeducator with La Conner Schools. “It was like a mini-state meet. It’s a two-day tournament at Othello with big brackets and it’s really cool when you win it.”

The meet, 240 miles distant in eastern Washington, is seen as a springboard to upcoming regional meets and the state Mat Classic in Tacoma. It is important to build momentum toward tournaments, said Buck.

Cobbs, an outstanding La Conner soccer player and track athlete, serves as a student representative on the school board, where she helps members wrestle with key policy and procedure issues.
