The Conchs finished in second place at the event and had strong showings from Alfredo Corrales, Abram Canet and Dost Bahktiyorov, who went undefeated for the boys team. On the girls team, Sheyla Figueira and Natalie Arguello won their weight classes with undefeated showings, giving Key West a lot of hope to go far again this season. The Conchs will be busy this weekend, hosting and wrestling in their annual Key West Invitational tournament. Action begins Friday, Dec. 15 at 4:30 p.m. in Key West’s Bobby Menendez Gymnasium.
