Fort Lupton's star senior D'mitri Garza-Alarcon represented his school, town, family and a positive life path en route to winning his fourth state wrestling title Saturday night in Denver's Ball Arena.
The first of three days of girls and boys state wrestling tournaments took place Thursday at Denver's Ball Arena. An impressive 56 local boys and five local girls picked up opening round wins.
D'Mitri Garza-Alarcon could’ve easily led a gang life. Or, he might have been a renowned bull rider. Or, in a different dimension, he could’ve been just another kid at Fort Lupton High School.

The long layoff is finally over.
For the first time since the state tournament last February, grapplers from Moffat County will return to the mat Tuesday night for the first — and only — home match of the season.
Tuesday’s battle with the Grand Valley Cardinals, starting at 5 p.m., will serve as “Senior Night” for the Bulldogs. The team will be wrestling at Moffat County High School in front of two fans per wrestler.
Last season, the team finished 16th out of 51 teams at the state tournament, a number they hope to improve upon this season.
“I am just ready to wrestle and I think all the other guys are ready to wrestle and get the season rolling here,” head coach Tyler Seislove said. “It feels like we’ve been waiting forever to finally get our chance to wrestle.”
