From the sidelines:
Yarely Cervantes is one of the most dominant wrestlers to come out of the Federal Way women’s wrestling team. In her three years with the team, she accumulated 90 career wins along with 74 pins. Yarely capped off this past season with an impressive 4th place finish at the Mat Classic State Tournament. In addition to her accomplishments on the mat, her accolades in the classroom are just as impressive as she challenges herself by taking AICE Level classes. As a PSSC student she is studying nursing in order to give back to society and to help those in need when she gets older. Yarely truly embodies what it means to be wrestler in the women’s wrestling program at Federal Way High School.
