TULSA, Okla. – The 2022 Junior Women’s National Duals featured 30 teams from 26 states, with literally dozens of nationally ranked wrestlers competed during the day. Champions in each of the four pools were crowned on Wednesday afternoon.
Defending champion California had an easy time in its Pool A final, defeating Indiana, 47-10. California won 10 of the matches, nine with bonus points, including five by fall. California wrestlers with pins in the pool finals were Maliya Castillo (180), No. 1 Sam Calkins (200), Isabella Marie Gonzales (122), Chloe Overgaag (138) and Desiree Vasquez (144).
Michigan Blue won a 35-29 match over a talented Missouri 1 team in the Pool B final. Michigan Blue won eight bouts, with Missouri 1 claiming six wins. Michigan Blue was dominant in the upper weights, winning four of the five highest weights, all by fall from Brynn Green (152), Amarisa Manuel (164), No. 1 Sabrina Nauss (180) and No. 1 Eliana Bommarito (225).
The Pool C and Pool D finals both went down to the last match, which showed that both of the teams in those pool finals have very strong lineups.
In Pool C, Washington edged Pennsylvania Blue, 33-32. Washington won the first four matches, but Pennsylvania Blue went on a run, taking seven of the next nine matches, including wins by Kayla Husti-Luca (138) and Paige Yatcilla (144) which gave Pennsylvania Blue the lead. In the final match of the dual meet, Aynslee Hester of Washington pinned Leyna Rumpler in 3:41 in the final bout at 152 to earn the one-point win for Washington.
In Pool D, in what would be considered a slight upset, Colorado secured a 36-28 victory over 2021 national runner-up Illinois. The dual meet went back and forth early on. Two big wins for Colorado came at 112 pounds, when Janessa George scored an 11-0 technical fall over Shea Reisel at 112 pounds and Sarah Savidge scored a 13-2 technical fall over Alexis Janiak at 132. Illinois Netavia Wickson (138) and Jasmine Hernandez (144) scored wins over ranked opponents to close the match to 31-28 for Colorado going into the final bout. In a high-scoring bout with much drama, Aspen Barber pinned Alexis Ritchie in 4:45 at 152 pounds to clinch the Colorado win.
The second-place squads in each pool join the winners in the Gold/Silver Pool. Two pools held true second place duals to decide the spots. The Gold/Silver Pool is split into two pools, which will determine the medal matches among the top eight teams.
In Pool C, Texas Blue, which was third in the pool, stopped runner-up Pennsylvania Blue 44-25 in the True Second match. Texas Blue had nine wins in the dual meet, all by bonus points, which included two forfeits.
In Pool D, pool runner-up Illinois stopped Missouri 2, 38-28 in the True Second match. Illinois won six of the final seven matches of the dual meet, including four technical falls and two pins.
A round of the color pools mawas held on Tuesday night. The completion of the color pools will occur on Thursday morning, with sessions at 9tches :00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Central time. The final placement matches will be in the second session.
