Kingfisher wrestlers and coaches after winning the team title in Yukon.
Two days.
Two tournaments.
Two cities.
Two championships.
That’s what the Kingfisher junior high girls wrestling team accomplished last weekend as they brought home team titles from both the Clinton Middle School/Junior High Hub City Tournament and the Yukon Ladies Invitational.
Three wrestlers won gold in leading the team to the title in Clinton on Friday.
Emily Hamil was the champ at 89 pounds, Brailyn Schroeder topped the 102-pound field and Aislin Barnett won at 180-200 for Kingfisher.
They combined to account for 129.5 points.
As a team, Kingfisher racked up 232 total points to top Altus by 10.
Clinton was third with 175.
Hamil won three of the four matches she wrestled by fall.
The lone exception was a technical fall.
In her three wins by fall, only one went past the first period.
Schroeder wrestled fie matches and pinned all five foes in the first period.
Her longest match lasted 1:26.
Barnett wrestled a total of less than two minutes in her two victories, pinning one foe in 58 seconds and the other in 1:00 exactly.
(Note: Some weight classes had brackets to determine a winner while others had a round-robin competition to determine the placings.)
Sophie Ellis was second at 96 pounds as she went 1-1 in her matches.
Aubree Torres was the bronze medalist at 126 pounds.
Torres lost her first-round bout to Brooklyn Whitfield of Altus, but came back to win four consecutive matches to take third.
That included pinning Armani Hernandez at 3:19 of the bronze medal match.
Other placers for Kingfisher included Audrey Serbantez taking fourth at 89 pounds, Sydney Snyder fifth at 102, Effie Hendrix sixth at 126 and Aubree Burpo sixth at 138.
Cashion had two placers as Makenna Chickering took fourth and Macy Farrow fifth at 138 pounds.
Cashion scored 25 points as a team to place 11th.
Kingfisher topped Altus yet again Saturday at the tournament in Yukon.
The Lady Jackets notched 101.5 points to Altus’ 93.
Deer Creek was third with 86.5.
There were 34 teams represented at the tournament and 20 of them scored points.
Once again, three Kingfisher wrestlers won their weight classes.
Once again, Hamil and Barnett were among them.
Hamil was the 91-pound champ and Barnett was the cream of the crop at 202.
Hamil went 3-0 in her matches with two pins and one technical fall.
Barnett also went 3-0 and didn’t see a match go beyond the first period.
She pinned Moore’s Ximena Hernandez in 1:13 in her gold medal match.
Kingfisher’s third gold came from Sophie Ellis at 75/84 pounds.
She was 3-0 and pinned Faith Busor of Lawton Eisenhower in 3:21 in the first-place match.
Tylar Prim earned the silver medal at 119B.
Prim pinned three foes in the first period before losing in the championship match.
Garnering a bronze medal for Kingfisher was Schroeder at 104 pounds.
Schroeder lost her quarterfinal match, but came back to defeat her last three foes via pins.
Schroeder was 4-1 overall in the tournament.
Serbantez placed fourth at 91 pounds to give Kingfisher its lone other placing in the tournament.
