The Tonganoxie High girls wrestling team continues to compete in the Class 4-1A state championships at Tony’s Pizza Events Center in Salina.

Here’s a rundown of THS matches so far:

105

Freshman Autumn Wilson won her opener by forfeit against Coffeyville junior Emma Hall (30-5) and then lost to Wichita County freshman Jentri Porter (20-3), 6-2, in the quarterfinals. Wilson (29-12) now will wrestle in the consolation bracket against Burden-Central freshman Aubrey Miller (21-15).

140

Sophomore Mackenzie Colgrove (26-16) continues in the consolation bracket after losing by fall in the first period in the opening round against Pratt junior Keimanda Thompson (32-5). Thompson pinned Colgrove in 47 seconds. Colgrove (27-16) defeated Hays-Thomas More Prep sophomore Claudine Stein (12-10) by fall in the second period (2:28). She now will take on Hoisington senior Tally Wikum (27-7) in the consolation bracket.

170

Sophomore Grace Stean (35-11) is guaranteed a medal. She pinned Ellis sophomore Riley Rodriguez (13-11) by fall in the first period. Stean got the pin 1:04 into the match. She then pinned Fort Scott junior Brylie Schaub (31-7) by fall in the first period in the quarterfinals (1:08). In the semifinals, Stean battled Oakley sophomore Atavia Cain (32-3) for nearly three full periods, but Cain pinned Stean with 12 seconds left in regulation. Stean now can finish as high as third place, but will finish in the Top 6 depending on how the consolation bracket plays out.

Senior Holly Colvert (33-2) also will finish out wrestling in the consolation bracket. Colvert made quick work of Stockton sophomore Rivver Long (13-18) with a pin 36 seconds into the match in the opening round.

In the semifinals, Wellington junior Aubrey Hunt (37-6) pulled off the upset and pinned Colvert in the second period (3:44). Like Stean, Colvert now can finish as high as third place, but will finish in the Top 6 depending on how the consolation bracket plays out.
