Girls wrestling battles to 6th place finish in state duals preview

The Minden girls wrestling team closed the first half of their season by travelling to Grand Island for the Flatwater Fracas, the biggest regular season dual tournament in the state. 14 teams competed in the tournament, including #2 (Colorado) Eaglecrest, #3 (Kansas) Garden City, #6 (Kansas) Manhattan, and #2 Grand Island. Three of the 14 teams in the tournament will also be competing in the NSWCA Girls State Duals Tournament being held at Pierce High School at the end of January.

On day one the Minden girls went 2-2, losing to Norfolk and Garden City before defeating Seward and rival Lexington. Day two saw Minden close out pool play defeating Lincoln East and Grand Island JV to finish 3rd in pool A. They matched up with Manhattan in the fifth place dual, where they lost a close dual to end the tournament in 6th place.

Isabel Serrano earned a medal and all-tournament honors for going 7-0 in the tournament. She had three pins, including a fall over #8 Furgison of Lexington. Other notable performances came from Aliena Osterbuhr who went 6-1, with her only loss coming to a Kansas state champion, Cheyenne Vahl, who also went 6-1, and Xitlali Nunez who went 5-1. 

It was a great weekend of wrestling and a great showing by the entire wrestling team. Dual tournaments require each wrestler to be ready at a moment's notice and perform when their name is called. 14 different girls stepped up and earned wins and team points, and everyone wrestled sharp and gained plenty of momentum to carry into Christmas break. The varsity team will be in action next at the Norm Manstedt Invite on January 4th.
