Key West made the long trip to Jacksonville to participate at the Green Cove Springs Rotary Invitational at Clay High School on Feb. 3 after a tough time at the Colby Singletary Invite one week prior. Five Conchs made it to the podium, including a pair of Lady Conchs who have been dominating the mats as of late. Sheyla Figueira was the runner up in the 100 lb. class and Natalie Arguello took fourth at 135 lbs. For the boys, 157 lb. Alfredo Corrales came in third, Abram Canet was fourth at 132 lbs., and Dostmukhammad Bakhtiyorov was sixth at 144 lbs. 

Both Key West and Coral Shores plan to travel to Jensen Beach High School for the Falcon Invitational on Feb. 10, just five days before the District 16 Championships on Feb. 15 at Coral Shores.
