Feb. 27—As Libby Roberts ascended to the top step of the podium last Friday at Mat Classic 36, she would have looked into the crowd of photographers and noticed one nonmedia member grinning from ear to ear taking a photo with his cellphone.

Feb. 22—TACOMA — Czar Quintanilla has been growing tired of the bragging rights his brothers have over him at family dinners. The University junior and owner of two Mat Classic titles couldn't quite measure up to the three titles his brothers Izaec or Q'Veli claimed, while his other brother Clai still sits at the head of the table as a four-time champion. "I've always been looking up to my brothers and wanting to be at the level they are at," Quintanilla said.
