Garcia runner-up for girls at Rotary

Carrington had three placewinners, including a runner-up finisher, at the Rotary Wrestling Tournament from the Bismarck Event Center January 5-6.

Khendra Garcia, along with Jazmyn Ybarra and Ashley Lindberg, earned top eight showings for the Cards at the meet.

The Rotary attracts a sizable portion of the girls wrestling programs in the state, as well as several more from South Dakota and one each from Montana and Minnesota.

Garcia improved to 24-4 for the season at the Rotary, taking three pins to advance to the finals at 130 pounds. There, she took on undefeated and nationally-ranked Julia Araujo of the Bismarck Demons, and lasted much of the first period before being pinned with 35 seconds remaining.

Ybarra was fourth at 124 pounds. During her tournament, she went the more difficult route by going the distance in regulation by decision in all five of her wins. She would lose to a Bismarck wrestler, Maggie Thielges, by pin in the third place match.

At 250, Lindberg got three wins by fall, and took her second defeat of the season to Legacy's Phoenix Lindseth. She would also lose to Kathryn Sullivan of the Grand Forks Knightriders (Central/Red River co-op), and finished fifth.

Each taking two victories in Rotary mat action were Taya Lura (106), Kelsi Neuman (124) and Kendall Kovar (130), and single wins went to Aysa Reimche (106), Nela McKibben (124), Madalina Ciubotareanu (142) and Nevaeh Sorensen (155).

The Cards would tie with Dickinson for 15th place with 75 points. Bismarck was the tournament winner, scoring 230.5, 20 points better than runner-up Legacy, while Minot was a solid third with 200.
