A third straight day of wrestling was no match for Aliena Osterbuhr, who claimed the 120 pound title at the Amherst Invite a day after going undefeated at the NSWCA Girls State Duals. She won via technical fall and then two pins, closing it out with a fall over #5 Phelps, the second victory over her opponent this season. That pin also broke her own school record for pins in a season, raising her season total to 29. For her efforts, she was voted by the coaches as the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament.
Osterbuhr was the only medalist of the day for Minden, as the rest of their team consisted of junior varsity and freshman wrestlers. The rest of the team was given the day to rest in preparation for the postseason, which begins Friday in Gothenburg.
