Mid-season Recap - Pin Crown, Walkoff Pin, Home Dual Wins

• The season goes by quickly when it’s so much fun!

  
  

• Welcome to new coaches Joey Perrigo, Emily Anderson, and Brooklyn Lull. Thank you also to Aspen Beltran, who helped us earlier this year. We’re happy to have all of you.

  
  

• Our new pin crown has been a hit! During dual meets whenever a wrestler earns a pin, she gets to wear our pin crown and then present it to the next teammate who earns a pin.

  
  

• To start the year, we won a lot of matches at GET’s girls tournament.

  
  

• We traveled to Hastings, MN for duals against #6 Hastings and #1 Apple Valley, MN.

  
  

• In our only home duals of the year, we defeated Mukwonago and St. Croix Falls.

  
  

• We placed 5th at the Bi-State Classic. Aini Anderson, Haley Dezelske, Kaytlynn Lambries, Avalee Euler, Sophia Walter, and Allison Weiss were our place-winners. It was also the first time the girls were featured alongside the boys for the finals and placement matches.

  
  

• At the Clash National Duals, we placed 5th overall with a 2-2 record. The highlight was a pin by Jozie Collins in the final match to give us a 36-35 win over #6 Hastings, MN. It gave us revenge for our earlier season loss too. We also defeated #3 STMA, MN. Kaytlynn Lambries and Sophia Walter were our undefeated wrestlers.

  
  

• We rocked a cheesehead at The Clash!

  
  

• This past weekend, we went 3-1 at the Wisconsin Multi Duals and placed 3rd out of 16. Highlights were wins over #5 Bi-State Champions Bayport and #7 Neenah. Our loss was to #3 Menasha. Coach Carl now owes Menasha’s head coach, Zachary Mueller, 100 burpees.

  
  

• Those duals have gone from four teams to 16 teams in just two years! The growth of Wisconsin girls wrestling is amazing and we’re happy to be a part of it.

  
  

• We finished up our dual meets for the year with a 10-6 record overall. We’ve already had 32 duals in our history! Our overall record is 20-12. Our long-term goal is to become team state dual champions, starting two years from now when they start. All that dual experience will help us out.

  
  

• Coach Ross Needham has been leading a great youth group of girls. Coaches Steve Eggerichs, Ross Needham, and Pete Barsness, had by far the biggest middle school group of girls we’ve ever had with twelve.

  
  

• Next up is the Women’s Warrior Challenge in Wausau. We’ve got a great vibe and culture going and we look forward to finishing the year strong!
