Wausau West, Regional I
Shawano’s girls wrestlers filled only 10 of the weight classes at regionals at Wausau West, but nine of those girls will advance to sectional action Feb. 21.
At 100 pounds, Zennah Bosetski defeated Claire Schultz of Wausau West in the semifinals and then defeated Abbie Rosenmeyer of Tomahawk with a fall in 5:26.
“She controlled ties and had some nice takedowns,” coach Mike Homan said. “She took advantage of her situations. In her finals match, she was down late but found a pin with 30 seconds left. She has wrestled well as of late, and we look forward to next weekend.”
At 114, Jenna Moede beat Brenna Marsh of Wittenberg -Birnamwood by fall, and then in the finals, she pinned Lena Volmer of Wausau West in 3:57.
“She pinned her way through the bracket and looks to keep it rolling next week with a trip to state,” Homan said.
Lily Tomas placed second at 235. She was pinned in 1:09 by Clintonville’s Keela Deering.
“(Tomas) is doing some great things on the mat and peaking at the right time,” Homan said. “She controlled ties and worked well out of the bottom position.”
Six girls placed fourth. They were Gwyn Herman at 107, Madelyn Moesch at 120, Lauren Seehafer at 126, Brynn Hannes at 132, Adalyn Barkley at 138 and Jacey Cowden at 152.
Cowden defeated Wittenberg-Birnamwood’s Faith Weso for fourth place. Then, West pinned Menominee Nation’s Cheyenne Fish for fifth place.
“The rest of the team did a great job wrestling back through the bracket to earn trips to sectionals,” Homan said. “Anytime you can qualify most of the team, it is an exciting time. We are hoping to place some of them in the top two next week to move onto the state tournament.”
