In conjunction with the RVC Tournament at Clinton the Whitewater Lady Wrestlers had the opportunity to compete in a tournament of their own. The Whitewater girls did very well during the day. Adalynn Frye and Athena Soto both continued to show progress. This is a challenge for them as they are brand new to wrestling, so each time on the mat is a great learning opportunity for them. The coaching staff sees improvement, although the result the ladies may want is not there.

Leading the way for the Whippets was Lauren Buehler who had two pins on the day on her way to her first championship in her young career.

Ashly Xochipa followed with a second-place finish, going 3-1 on the day with three pins and a tough loss to a strong lady from Badger. Also taking 2nd place was Khloe Meyer who was able to secure a pin for her second-place finish. This is exciting for Khloe as she has shown growth, and it was nice to see the victory come her way.

Odeling Gonzalez started the day off with a loss but then came back and was able to win her last two matches. The exciting part of her day was that both of her victories came against young ladies that she had lost to earlier in the season.

Great job to the lady wrestlers. As always, they represented their team very well.
