Sally Boussios

Sally Boussios embodies excellence in the organization and management of wrestling tournaments. For more than two decades, she has been the guiding force and heartbeat behind events at every level of Oregon wrestling — from 2A through 6A competitions, to the prestigious Reser’s Tournament of Champions, and the OSAA State Championships.

Her journey began in 2001 at Hillsboro’s Century High School, where she volunteered to coordinate travel and fundraising for the Jaguar wrestling teams, including organizing two tournaments in Hawaii. She also trained and coordinated the school’s team of statisticians.

In 2005, Boussios embraced innovation as one of Oregon’s early adopters of Trackwrestling, launching her career as a tournament director. When Coach Eric Givens moved to Liberty High School in 2008, she brought her expertise and energy to both programs for one season before devoting her efforts exclusively to Liberty through 2024.

By 2010, she had elevated the Liberty Invitational into one of the state’s premier events — managing a field of 24 boys’ teams and 45 girls’ teams, overseeing an extraordinary 1,750 matches in a single day. Her precision, leadership, and commitment set new standards for tournament operations.

Boussios has directed multiple conference championships and served as tournament director for the 2022 and 2023 OSAA 6A State Championships. Since 2008, she has also played a vital role in managing the Reser’s Tournament of Champions, a cornerstone event in Oregon wrestling.

Proudly reflecting on her career, she notes her greatest satisfaction comes from being “part of the explosive growth of the sport for girls.” Through her tireless work, organization, and vision, Sally Boussios has shaped the competitive experience for thousands of athletes and strengthened the foundation of wrestling across Oregon.
