Tri-City wrestler Ciara McCrae will add some hardware to Port Moody secondary's trophy case.

Fresh off a gold medal at the provincial championships in Prince George last month, the Grade 11 grappler took home silver at the National Wrestling Championships in Guelph, Ont., this past weekend.

McCrae's only defeat came at the hands of Elizabeth Fagan in the finals of the juvenile 49 kg category at the contest.

But the 16-year-old athlete was not done yet.

McCrae also won a silver the next day at the Fila Cadet Trials, which puts her on the National Junior Team.

Last month, McCrae defeated St. Thomas more's Ciara Corbett in the 51-kg category at the provincial championships. That victory secured her position in the national championships.

Nicholas Lew, another Tri-City athlete, also competed in Guelph last weekend.
