Jenna Moede wrestled well and took first place in her finals match with a fall in 3:52. Gwyn Hermann took second place after a close match in the finals.
“Gwyn continues to improve and wrestle hard,” coach Mike Homan said. “Jenna went 4-0 on the day with four pins. Jenna has really been wrestling well, and she continues to improve.”
Onna Hermann took second place as well. Caitlyn Moede took fifth place and had the toughest bracket of the tournament, as her bracket contained four state qualifiers from last season.

“She has been wrestling well and improving greatly,” Homan said, of Lemerond. “Adalyn Barkley took fourth place and wrestled some great matches. She is learning the sport and competing hard in every match.”

“Her season is off to a great start, and we look forward to more growth in the coming weeks,” Homan said. “Courtney Schenk placed second as well. She continues to work hard and expand her knowledge of the sport.”
Shawano outscored their opponents 119-92 and improved to 3-0.
