Girls wrestling team wins meet

The Trojans wrestling team celebrated a victorious triumph at the Dennis Solis Girls Wrestling Classic hosted at CVHS on Dec. 21. The tournament was hugely successful as CVHS reigned supreme over the 58 other teams who participated. In the end, the Trojans racked up 119.5 points fastening their first-place position.

“I was so nervous before my match but I feel like it clicked into place once I got on the mat,” said junior Ray Huang who is a first-year wrestler. 

CVHS had multiple girls who placed. Junior Evie Rhoe placed first place in the girls varsity 135-pound bracket. During one of her matches, Rhoe secured a win despite her headgear falling in front of her face and obstructing her view. She won her first match with a technical fall at four minutes and 37 seconds. Her second match she won on a fall at 1:39. Her final match she was up against Anais Hernandez from St. Helena and she emerged victorious with a score of 15-7.

Some other notable victories in the varsity category include freshman Axel Ambrose who placed third in the 140-pound bracket. And senior Gianna Colon who placed third in the 125-pound bracket. 

Junior varsity also had some incredible accomplishments. Sophomore Madilyn Koscinski placed first in the JV 140-pound bracket. Freshman Jade Sychr placed fourth in the JV 120-pound division.

“I am so proud of our team here at CVHS and how far we’ve come since the beginning of the season. At our home tournament, I got to see our girls in action and I think everyone did their absolute best,” said Sychr. 

Ultimately the dedication displayed by these wrestlers propelled them to their first place victory.
