The Trenton High School girls wrestling team competed at the Lady Mustangs Christmas Clash in Eldon on Friday and Saturday. Trenton’s three wrestlers gathered 42 points, placing the Bulldogs 16th out of 21 teams.
Avery Clark led Trenton, placing second in the 141-pound bracket with a 3-1 record. Clark pinned all three of her opponents to start the tournament, but was pinned in the final by Lucinda Baker of Camdenton.
Allison Yoder finished third in the 159-pound bracket, going 4-1. Like Clark, Yoder began with three pins in a row before losing by fall in the semifinals to Southern Boone’s Lilly Seward. She would bounce back by pinning Josie Johnston of Butler in the third-place match.
Mercy Schweizer was also in action, going 1-5 to place eighth at 120 pounds. Schweizer’s lone win came by pinfall, the first win by fall of her career.
“The girls knew this would be a tough tournament with most of the schools being Class 3 and 4 but they all stepped up and did very well,” Trenton girls wrestling coach Kaycee Terhune said.
Trenton’s girls wrestling team was at home on Monday, hosting Albany and Palmyra in a triangular. The Bulldogs will be back in action on Jan. 6, traveling to the Carrollton triangular, which also includes Maysville.
