Frank finished fifth and Emmaline Kouw finished 7th and Hailey Malloy (Olivet) 8th, to round out Michigan placers. Malloy also finished a very impressive 4th in HS Elite as an 8th grader!
128 Fresh off a state championship where she pulled a massive upset, Kassie Sapp journeyed to OH and promptly won the 128 Girls Varsity Weight Class in dominant fashion. Only one wrestler made it past the first period with her and that was Emma Mantei of Dundee. Mantei only lost 3-0 to Sapp and won all other matches by first period fall to capture 3rd place. Also placing in this bracket was Kaden Tinkey (Leslie) 6th, Emma Kosza (Hartland) 7th, and Stella Straub (Novi) 8th. Cassandra Frank (Oxford), Abbie VerHoeven (Hamilton), Adrianna Murray (Yale), and Korrayah Kapenga also competed in this bracket.
As impressive as this bracket was, the 125 Girls HS Elite saw Mantei win a dramatic 7-6 victory over Sapp in the finals. This could be a preview of more great matches between these two this winter back home in Michigan. Koscza took 6th place in this bracket to also win Double All-American Honors.
