On Friday night, January 30, the Whitewater Girls’ Wrestling team traveled to Lodi High School to participate in a 5-team tournament and found much success. After a delay in the start of action and much anticipation, the girls hit the mat and wrestled extremely tough on the night coming home with six champions and leading the way in the team score, outdistancing Mukwonago.
Starting the championship trend was Isabelle Cantu (100) going 3-0 on the evening with a pin and a couple very well wrestled matches on her way to the championship. Next up was Ema Aranda (107) who was 4-0 on the night with all pins. Storm De Porter (126) finished 3-0 on the night with 2 pins and a great championship match outconditioning her opponent to bring home her first high school championship. Next up for the champions was Berma Vubumu (145) who also brought home her first high school wrestling championship going 3-0 with 2 pins along the way. Payton Taylor (165) finished the evening 3-0 with two pins along the way, defeating a strong girl by pin in the championship match. Finally, closing out the evening of championships for the Whippets was Marianna Kubicz (185) who had two pins. She weathered the storm in a very physical match in the opening round. She remained calm, got to her position on her feet, and ended up taking the girl down to pin.
Just missing out on the gold medal was Atreya Wilson (138) who was 3-1 on the night. Atreya had a tough loss but came back from it by going back to her basics, securing two pins along the way. Aubrey Fuoco (145) continues to improve each time she is on the mat proving that showing up to practice, listening, and doing really pays off as she had two pins on her way to the championship before falling to her teammate. This is the highest place that Aubrey has had in any tournament in high school.
Coming in 5th place, yet going 3-1, was Emma Maas (114) with two pins. Kora Davis (120) also took 5th place in what I would say was the most competitive weight class in the tournament with a couple of state ranked girls in the bracket. Kora wrestled her heart out and did not back down to any of the girls.
Also wrestling very tough on the night were Silvia Harris (120) and Amanda Pena-Ramirez (145) who battled every match but were unable to reach top 5.
The girls are next in action on Friday night, February 6, when they travel to Edgerton High School to participate in the Rock Valley Conference Tournament. Wrestling begins at 5:00.
