TALLINN, Estonia – The girls wrestling team from Wyoming Seminary defeated a European all-star team on Saturday, 8-5, in a friendly dual meet, the night before competing in the girls freestyle division at the Tallinn Open
Winning bouts for Wyoming Seminary were Amelia Murphy (U15 46 kg), Tiffany Stoshak (Cadet 46 kg) , Arianna Hernandez (Cadet 57 kg), Madison Wellen (Cadet 57 kg), Carina Giangeruso (Cadet 57 kg), Faith Bartoszek (Cadet/65 kg), Virginia Foard (Junior 50 kg) and Avery Kibelbek (Junior 50 kg).
“The Wyoming Seminary girls wrestling team took themselves to another level tonight. You couldn’t tell that for many of them, this was their first international tour and competition. Each of them stepped to the line ready to battle; they embraced the fight and came out victorious as a team. The dual was packed with exciting action from start to finish - lead changes, comebacks, and falls,” said Erin Vandiver, Wyoming Seminary head women’s coach.
Scoring pins for Wyoming Seminary were Murphy, Wellen and Bartoszek, while Stoshak, Hernandez, Giangeruso and Foard secured technical fall victories.
Wellen’s victory was against Inna Alimova of Ukraine. The hosts of the Tallinn Open is providing free room, board and entry fees for Ukrainian wrestlers at the Tallinn Open tournament. Wyoming Seminary’s girls team raised money to give to Ukrainian wrestlers who have attended the competition this weekend.
“This was great for us to see the rewards of a long training phase. The improvements made amongst the entire team were impressive. We appreciate the opportunity and our opponents from Team Europe. All 22 girls are excited and ready to compete tomorrow in the Tallinn Open,” said Vandiver
Results from the boys Greco-Roman tournament at the Tallinn Open will be posted later today.
