TULSA, Okla. – It was a banner day for Pennsylvania as it trounced Florida, 44-19, in the finals of the Gold/Silver bracket to complete a perfect 8-0 run at the 14U Girl’s National Duals and cement a first-place finish in freestyle for the third year running.
Although the championship dual ended up with a lopsided score, the runners-up from Florida gave Pennsylvania all it could handle, jumping out to a quick lead as Jada Williams (136) and Makayla Harrison (185) picked up pins in the first two contested matches of the finals. Pennsylvania picked up two forfeits in the first four weight classes to keep pace with Florida early on, but the momentum leaned in Florida’s favor heading into bout five at 79 pounds.
Four pins in a row from the Keystone State bunch gave Pennsylvania a lead that wound up being insurmountable. Brooklyn Henry (79), Emma Grimes (85), Morgan Hyland (92) and Shannon Logue (97) each scored falls for Pennsylvania in the critical stretch from 79 pounds to 97 pounds.
Florida punched back with a pair of 10-0 technical falls from Maya Alvarado (101) and Abigail Gonzalez (105). However, it wouldn’t be enough as Kennedy Unrue (110), Cordy Zalota (119) and Riley Jackson (127) sent Pennsylvania to the winner’s circle in style with bonus point wins to end the meet.
It was a magical run to the finals for Florida, who came into the tournament ranked No. 19 of 20 teams in the pre-ranking seeds. Florida went 3-1 to take the Pool D title yesterday before earning a place in today’s championship match courtesy of wins over Pool A champion Texas Red and Pool B champion Washington in Gold/Silver Pool action.
Washington rebounded from its loss to Florida to take third place overall. Kylee Wicklund (145), Isabelle Goedl (85), Winter West (92) and Emerson Woods (105) picked up pins for Washington in its 44-11 win over Oklahoma Blue in the third-place dual.
The fifth-place match between Texas Red and Tennessee was a barnburner that came down to the final bout. Elliotte Strange of Texas Red topped Tennessee’s Lexi Dean, 14-1, at 127 pounds to ice the dual. Additionally, Kylie Smith picked up a critical 30-second pin for Texas Red at 110 pounds to help secure the win.
Seventh place was awarded to Ohio, who took down Kansas, 35-24, in large part due to pins from Scout Phillips (92), Cameron Leng (105), Carolyn Geckler (110) and Rylee Dearwester (127).
The 14U Girl’s National Duals hits reset tomorrow as the Greco-Roman division is set to kick off at 8 a.m. (CT). The tournament will run alongside the Junior Men’s Freestyle and Junior Women’s Greco-Roman National Duals at Cox Convention Center.
