The Eagles’ sophomore, competing in the 235-pound weight class, took just 53 seconds to dispose of Julia Pereira from Burnt Hills/Scotia/Ballston Spa. She then decked Groton’s Zavanna Evans in 49 seconds, avenging a loss when the two met at the Linda C. Knuutila Memorial tourney two weeks ago. In the championship match, she pinned Danielle Trinkle from Salem/Cambridge in 2:59.
SVEC’s Dallas Bohling and Tayah Beach competed in pool action.
Bohling went 0-3 in the 107 Black division with one of her losses coming against eventual champion Charlie Wylie from Port Jervis, who took sixth at the NYSPHSAA Division II boys state tournament in 2023. She also lost to Windsor’s Krysten Yadlosky, who was a STAC and Section IV placer at 114 last season.
Beach was 0-4 in the Black division at 120, the second largest weight class in the tournament. She dropped matches to Saugerties’ Savannah Tittleback (19-2) and Shenendehowa’s Makenzie Harbour (10-1), who placed first and second, respectively. That duo’s losses this season have come against one another.
Tittleback is a two-time NYSPHSAA Girls Invitational qualifier Another of Beach’s losses came against Amsterdam’s Breyana Montalvo who, like Beach and Harbour, was a state invitational qualifier last season. The other loss came against Delaney Bisaillon from Mechanicsville/Stillwater. She competed in the girls state invitational in 2023.
