Several area girls wrestlers are not done with their seasons after successful nights at the WIAA Menasha Sectional.
Luxemburg-Casco's Kiley Georgel will make another run at the state tournament after winning the 185 pounds weight class at Friday's Menasha sectional. Georgel never left the first period in her three matches, winning all of them via pin in less than two minutes. First-time wrestler Jakayla Steinhorst battled into the second period of her opening and only match of the evening.
Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol's Tiani Lemieux's abbreviated season was extended another week after she took second place in Friday's WIAA Girls Wrestling Sectional in Menasha. Lemieux improved her record to 10-2 on the season with three pins in her four contested matches at 145 pounds. She was pinned by Ava Armatti (Neenah) before wrestling her way back into second place. Izzy Andreae and Lanie Brauer each only had one match, but they battled into the second period before having their season end via a pin.
A loss in the title match did not come back to haunt Kewaunee's Arianna Niemojuski as she clinched a spot in next weekend's girls wrestling state tournament after a second-place finish in Friday's Menasha Sectional. Niemojuski secured two pins at 152 pounds before losing to Brooke Hansen (Wrightstown) by a 3-0 decision in the title match. She advance to the state tournament via no contest against Caitlyn Popp (Chilton/Hilbert).
Two Southern Door girls wrestlers came painfully close to qualifying for next week's state tournament after falling in the second-place match at the Menasha Sectional on Friday. Nora LeFevre won two of her contested matches at 107 pounds, but getting pinned by Irelyn Woolhether (Campbellsport) in the second round cost her a chance at Madison as she lost via no contest in the second-place match. Sydney Turner also came up empty in the second-place match after winning her first two matches of the day. Portia Hah and Attyson Wilson suffered second-period defeats by pin in their only matches of the night.
