The Mount Baker girls’ wrestling team won the inaugural Dream Duals girls’ tournament with a 36-18 defeat of Kelso in the finals on Saturday.
“I thought we wrestled solid,” Mount Baker coach Ron Lepper said in a phone interview. “It was not our best day overall, I think we got a little distracted, but I thought we got things done when we had to and I’m pleased with the outcome.”
Roxanne Rosas (103 pounds), Alex Lepper (135) and Angel Ortiz (160) all went 3-0 individually. Lepper was down 10-1 at one point in her second match of the day, but came back to regain the lead and eventually won with a third-round pin. Ron Lepper also singled out the wrestling of Samantha Mount at 112 and Kristen Fogg at 119 pounds as being key to the championship.
The Mountaineers defeated Mary Walker 54-0 to start the day and then Warden 42-12 in the second dual.
