Coaching bio

Barnes arrived at Lake Stevens as an unknown 20-something hoping to bring respectability to the Vikings' wrestling program. Twenty-two seasons later, Barnes sits at the top of one of the most-respected programs in the entire country. Under Barnes's watch, Lake Stevens has dominated the state and been a major player in national tournaments. In the past 12 years alone, the Vikings have won five state titles (2000, 2001, 2004, 2007 and 2008) and brought home three second-place trophies (in 1996, 1999 and 2005). Barnes has also been named state coach of the year and has been asked to coach at national camps alongside legends like Iowa's Dan Gable.
