Kiona‑Benton honors state‑placing wrestlers as spring sports ramp up
Summary
The board recognized student wrestlers and coaches for recent state placings, highlighted increasing participation in spring sports, and noted upcoming competitions and practice schedules.
The Kiona‑Benton City School District board recognized members of the wrestling team and their coaches during the meeting, applauding individual state placings and increased participation in spring athletics.
A coach summarized the season’s results: "JJ, she took 2nd this year," and noted that Aiden was the first freshman to place out of state since 2011. The board thanked coaches Flavio Sandoval and Britney Serna and invited the team to step down early if they had practice to attend.
Athletics staff later reported spring sports enrollment has improved, with soccer nearing 30 participants and morning weight‑room attendance regularly between 18 and 25 students. The athletics update described parent feedback on new coaches and plans to stagger senior ceremonies so families with multiple student athletes can attend.
No formal action was taken; the recognition was ceremonial and timed to allow student athletes to return to practice.
