Mentally tough, Physically tough
As a 103-pound girl, JoMae Alewine is as physically small as any competitor at the Mat Classic. But in the areas that can’t be measured by a scale or a ruler, like heart and toughness, Alewine is as big as they come.
The senior from Lake Stevens lost last year in the finals to Bremerton’s Lauren Richardson and that heartbreak pushed to the championship in 2010. Alewine’s dream rematch was shaken up when freshman Rachel Archer from Winlock upset Richardson in the semifinal. Alewine still had Richardson on the mind when she pinned Archer in 1 minute, 48 seconds to take the 103-pound crown.
“We had a close match (last year) and I wanted to show Lauren that, if I did get to wrestle her, that it wouldn’t have been close,” Alewine said.
After her semifinal win in the morning, Alewine revealed that she had a partial meniscus tear in her left knee that has bothered her for the past few weeks and kept her from wrestling to her potential in the semis. Instead of pinning the third-place wrestler from Skyview she won 17-7.
Alewine said that her doctor didn’t want her to wrestle at all and she knew that she should protect the knee with a brace. But this feisty champion was loath to show weakness to her opponents.
“I took my injury out of the equation (in the final),” Alewine said. “If it started hurting I wasn’t going to think about it.”
The one time that Alewine showed weakness was when the subject of her brother came up. BJ Alewine wrestled at Lake Stevens last season and is currently stationed with the Army in South Korea. He’s the reason she became a wrestler.
“He would have been really proud of me,” Alewine said, fighting back tears.

Wrestling exchange
Did anyone travel further during their journey to Mat Classic XXII than Josefine Nowak?
The Lake Stevens High junior is an exchange student from Denmark. She is one of two Lake Stevens athletes (along with JoMae Alewine) who participated in the all-classification girls tournament.
Nowak, a 152-pounder, is a first-year wrestler who was recruited to the sport by Alewine this past fall. Nowak’s inexperience showed as she lost her first two matches Friday and was eliminated. But she exceeded expectations just by qualifying for state, Lake Stevens coach Brent Barnes said.
“I don’t know if she knew what state was. She still doesn’t know what it is,” Barnes said Tuesday after Nowak and her teammates finished a punishing practice in Lake Stevens’ muggy wrestling room. Nowak looked exhausted but kept working until it was over.
“It’s been hard for her. As you can see, we don’t cut them any slack,” Barnes said. “We treat everybody the same.”
Even though Nowak is new to wrestling, she got through an entire season with one of the state’s most successful, demanding programs.
“She stepped up,” Barnes said.
