Humboldt High had a trio of girl wrestlers take the mats at the Coffeyville regional last week. 

Though none of the girls advanced to state, each finished a successful season. 

Elizabeth Melendez competed in the 100-pound weight class. She lost by a fall over to Winfield’s Sheena Gocela in 31 seconds and to Osawatomie’s Shyann Thomas on a fall 3:21 into the match. 

Lilli Reider competed in the 105-pound weight class. The Lady Cub was taken down on a fall over against Winfeld’s Hannah Selle, before being pinned on a fall to Fort Scott’s Peighton Head in 4:30. 

Morgan Sterling came away with six team points in the 110-pound weight class. 

Sterling received a bye before losing to Cottonwood Falls-Chase County’s Kinzie Rogers on a fall at 2:50. She then won by fall against LaCygne-Prairie View’s Madilyn McCool immediately into the match. 

Sterling then won a match against Labette County’s Jessica Myers on a fall in 57 seconds. Sterling advanced to the consolation semifinals where she lost to Paola’s Alexys Epp in a 2:00 fall over.
