Eight Northwest Iowa girl wrestlers advance at inaugural state-sanctioned tournament

CORALVILLE, Iowa -- With two rounds in the books and more to come later Thursday, eight wrestlers from Northwest Iowa remained in contention for state titles at the first Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union state tournament.

Action started Thursday morning in front of a sellout crowd at the Xtream Arena in Coralville.

Two Ridge View wrestlers, Tatum Shepherd at 125 pounds and Izzy Deeds at 145 pounds, and two from Spencer, Kaylee Nachtigal at 190 and Spencer's Olivia Huckfet at 235, all won their first two matches to get to the quarterfinals. 

Sioux City North's Molly Sek at 115, Shaylee Sutherland of Spencer at 125, Louise Meyer of Central Lyon/George-Little Rock at 170, West Lyon's Jana TerWee at 190, also advanced to the quarters. 

A total of six Ridge View wrestlers remained alive for medals, as the Raptors compiled 28 points to sit in ninth place in the team standings. Seven Spencer wrestlers also are still in contention, with the Tigers netting 24 points for 12th place. Through wrestlebacks, competitors who lose their first match can still score valuable team points.

Waverly-Shell Rock compiled 46 points to sit atop a close team race in the early action. Nine of the team’s wrestlers who qualified for state are still in contention for a medal. 

 Below are results for Journal circulation area wrestlers on the first-day of the IGHSAU tournament, which concludes Friday.
