closeThe Mount Baker girls’ wrestling team got its push toward the state tournament started on the right foot with a sub-regional team championship Saturday at Juanita High School in Kirkland.
The Mountaineers scored 157 points to win the team title, 114 points ahead of second-place Lake Stevens. The team also sent seven girls to the finals and came out with two champions.
“Once you get that many to the finals, it’s like you’re wrestling an all-star team, so it’s kind of hard to win them all,” Mount Baker coach Ron Lepper said in a phone interview. “But it shows we’re advancing and it’s going to give us a good shot to get a good number to state.”
Defending state champion Ashlee Phy led the way for Mount Baker. Phy won the 145-pound championship with a 35-second pin over Skyline’s Alexis Willcher to improve to 25-1. All 25 wins have been by pin for Phy. Freshman Chloe Grafwallner won the 285-pound championship for Baker with a pin over Inglemoor’s Anna Detering.
Other finalists for the Mounties were Roxanne Rosas (103 pounds), Kristen Fogg (119), Lanay Newgard (125), Katie Newgard (130) and Alex Lepper (135) who had to injury default out of the finals with a shoulder injury.
Samantha Mount (112), Shanli Dillard (130) and Ashley Armstrong (160) all finished third on the day, Elena Gallegos (103) and Karina Rosas (112) both finished fourth and all will advance to next week. From there, the top five will advance to state.
“Obviously it was nice to get 12 girls through, it gives us a good shot next week,” Lepper said. “It might give us a chance to make some noise at state.” Mount Baker coach Clyde Blockley, who coaches the girls’ team when they travel separately from the boys, was named the sub-regional coach of the year.
