It was a day of positive and negative at the Alameda Invitational for the Summit High School wrestling team, as junior Gio Marquez won his division while his cousin Brandon Daniel went down with an injury.<\/p>\n

Marquez won the 113-pound division at Saturday\u2019s tournament, which featured wrestlers from 17 schools. Tigers head coach Pete Baker credited Marquez\u2019s worth ethic and penchant for grinding out matches for his tournament win.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t stop,\u201d Baker said of Marquez. \u201cHe does not know \u2013 Gio doesn\u2019t have that \u2018give up.\u2019 He just grinds the whole time. He went out there and won all of his matches off hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the 106-pound weight division, freshman P.J. Trujillo had another strong meet, finishing runner-up for his classification at the tournament. It\u2019s the third consecutive tournament Trujillo has been to finals and lost. Baker said Trujillo is doing his best despite the natural sheer strength disadvantage the young grappler has versus the state\u2019s best juniors and seniors.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, when he\u2019s a junior or senior, he\u2019ll be that way to the freshmen,\u201d Baker said. \u201cHe\u2019s losing because of his age \u2014 he doesn\u2019t have that power the kids two or three years older than him have.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Daniel missed weight to wrestle at 120, the senior wrestled at 126 before a lower leg injury finished his day. After an initial scare that it might have been his Achilles tendon, Baker said Saturday afternoon he thinks Daniel\u2019s injury is a high-ankle sprain. The injury is likely to keep him out of Summit\u2019s next meet Wednesday at home versus Wheat Ridge, and maybe longer.<\/p>\n

With Daniel wrestling up at 126, Baker said he was ecstatic with the effort and execution Luca Rizzo put forth a the Tigers\u2019 varsity entrant into Saturday\u2019s meet. Rizzo went 2-2 on the day<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was one step away from placing \u2013 I\u2019m super proud of him,\u201d Baker said, \u201cand everybody else wrestled OK. They wrestled how they should, it was just a really tough tournament. Looking back on it, I felt like we performed really good. We kind of know where we need to build and what to work on after today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hockey<\/strong>
The Summit High School varsity hockey team blew out Palmer on the road Friday night by the score of 6-0.<\/p>\n

The Tigers outshot the Terrors 54-15, including three goals in the opening period. Summit opened up their scoring spree 7 minutes and 18 seconds into the first period, with an even-strength goal from Jack Sherlock assisted by Mark Bellavance and Isaac Eland. The Tigers scored a few minutes later with an unassisted even-strength goal from Nolan Schwier. Then 11:18 into in the period, Summit\u2019s Finn Theriault scored via an assist from ranger Stone.<\/p>\n

In the second period, Summit tacked on two more goals, one on a power-play from Stone assisted by Hank Kasch and Zach Carleton (8:25), and one from Max Bonenberger while playing short-handed, assisted by Ryle Cibula (14:21).<\/p>\n

In the third period, the Tigers\u2019 sixth and final goal was unassisted in an even-strength situation by Stone, his second of the night (11:39). In net, Summit\u2019s Marco Vogelbacher made 15 saves.<\/p>\n

The win improved Summit\u2019s record to 7-3 on the season. The Tigers rode a three-game winning streak into Saturday night\u2019s home game versus Aspen (4-4-1), the result of which was too late for publication in the Summit Daily print edition.<\/p>\n

Alpine skiing<\/strong>
The Summit High School Alpine skiing team battled through windy and snowy conditions at Beaver Creek Resort on Friday before finishing fifth in the boys competition and sixth in the girls competition.<\/p>\n

The Tigers boys finished fifth with 138 points led by sophomore Gavin Masters 28th-place showing and time of 1:19.14 on the giant slalom course. Summit\u2019s other top boys racers on the day were sophomore Toby Gard (37th, 1:21.67) and sophomore Ridge Garett (51st, 1:24.88). The boys were each limited to one run after the second boys run was cancelled due to weather.<\/p>\n

The girls team was able to get two runs in for normal, total combined times. They scored 137 points led by sophomore Victoria Uglyar (13th, 2:36.34), senior Abby Schierholz (25th, 2:40.70) and junior Bryton Ferrari (51st, 2:53.87).<\/p>\n

Summit will next ski at Friday\u2019s home slalom meet at Copper Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n

Basketball<\/strong>
Both the Summit High varsity boys and girls basketball team\u2019s home games against Battle Mountain Friday night were postponed due to weather.
