ATHLETES OF THE WEEK: Jake Weakley, Matthew Montes, Forks wrestling

Forks’ Jake Weakley and Matthew Montes have been absolutely dominant for the Spartans wrestling team so far this season.

Weakley won his 160-pound weight division at the Forks home meet on

Dec. 4. He also came in first at the Tony Saldivar Ironman meet in Granger on Dec. 11, and on Saturday, he won his division again at the Pat Anderson Invitational in Tumwater.

Montes, wrestling at 106 pounds, likewise took first place at the same three tournaments.

Weakley also won his weight division in a dual meet against 2A Aberdeen earlier this month.

Weakley’s and Montes’ performances helped Forks win its home tournament and come in second place as a team at the Saldivar and Anderson meets, despite the fact that 2B Forks went up against mostly 2A and 3A schools at those tournaments.
