Wrestlers from three Arlington County high schools recently earned berths at the Zone 4 qualifying event to participate in the Virginia High School League girls state tournament.
The top five wrestlers in each weight class earned those berths at Hayfield Secondary School, with the fifth-place finishers designated as alternates.
The state tournament is Wednesday-Thursday, Feb. 26-27, at the Henrico Sports and Events Center in Glen Allen. The public-school state tournament is a competition including wrestlers from Class 1 through 6.
The Wakefield Warriors earned the most qualifiers with three, led by champion Cameron Millsapps at 152 pounds. Millsapps dominated, finishing 4-0 with four pins, three in the first period and the other just 21 seconds into the second period.
Aniya Corbin of Wakefield was fifth at 114 and Fabiola Matas fourth at 185.
One wrestler each from Washington-Liberty and Yorktown qualified: From W-L, Allison Crawford was third at 132, while from Yorktown, Charlotte Bowman was second at 145.
Bowman finished 3-1 with two pins and a technical fall. She was pinned in the final by Oakton’s Hana Coutts.
Bowman and Millsapps placed in last season’s postseason, district, region and state tournaments.
