During the final week of competition in the regular season, the South Winn girls wrestling team was preparing for one of the biggest meets of the season — the regional meet.
The Warriors will compete in the Class 1A regional meet at East Buchanan at 4 p.m., Friday, Jan. 31, for a ticket to state with the top two wrestlers in each weight division qualifying for state.
Triangular
Packing up the gear, the Lady Warriors wandered to Cresco Thursday for a double dual with Crestwood and Charles City, finishing the night with 18 points in each dual loss.
On the mats versus the Comets, freshman Odessa Oyloe won her match at 125 pounds over Lillie Caster, throwing her in 1:46. Gracie Walz (135) and Class 1A No. 5 Maddy Jansen (140) each received forfeits for points.
Squaring off with the host Cadets, three Warriors came away with falls, including Isabelle Goltz at 105 pounds. Goltz turned Kelsey Adams in 2:14, while Walz threw Amber Harmening in 2:39. Jansen put Madi Fritcher-Larson on her back in 1:43.
