COFFEYVILLE — If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, gold may be a close second at Humboldt High School.

A team of Lady Cub wrestlers secured four weight class championships Friday at a tournament hosted by Coffeyville’s Field Kindley High School.

Humboldt’s Lilli Reeder (98-105 pounds), Jorden Hency (114-119), Carlie Weilert (133-134) and Braylynn Watson (163-168) all pinned each of their three opponents to win gold. 

Tack on runner-up finishes by Willow LaCrone, Taevyn Baylor, Rylee Woods and Savannah Koch, and you have the makings of another powerhouse performance by the HHS wrestling program.

IOLA HIGH also sent a pair of wrestlers, Addilyn Wacker and Gabreal Briggs, to Coffeyville. Each secured third in her weight class, Wacker at 126-130 pounds, and Briggs at 133-134.
