Sophomore Kelly Kubec of Lake Stevens qualified for the NCAA wrestling tournament while leading Oregon State to a Pac-10 title over the weekend.

Kubec took third in the 133-pound weight class while helping the Beavers win their first conference title since 2007.

Kubec, a three-time state champion while wrestling at Lake Stevens, qualified for the NCAAs as a freshman last year but failed to win a match.

This year’s NCAA championships will take place March 18 through 20 in Omaha, Neb.
