The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk girls wrestling wrapped up the home dual season Thursday and sent the fans in black-and-gold home happy with a win over Cedar Rapids Prairie. The Golden Hawks topped the Prairie Hawks by a 57-47 margin. Most Mid-Prairie grapplers got multiple matches on the night. Golden Hawk senior Mia Garvey went 2-0 with a fall over Erika Brokovich and a 7-3 victory against Claire Hynek. Garvey spoke after the meet about the two wins. “I think I liked the first one better because I actually pinned her. She tried to get underneath my arms a little and I threw my arm over top and grabbed on. Then she tried to pull her head out so I made it a little tighter and I popped my hips up and threw her under. In match two, I was going for a shot and she dropped her head a little bit, so I figured that if I took it and I tried to throw it again, maybe I could do it again. I did and I got the points that I needed to win. It feels pretty amazing. I had a lot of family here watching me. A lot of people that I’m really close to that came to watch and it just feels really great to show off!”

Ellie Brenneman also went 2-0 on the night for the Hawks with falls over Jade Hynek and Madison Childers. Kenda Shqair scored two wins against just one loss, beating Ava Rodriguez by fall and Karsyn Roling by 6-0 decision. In a battle of ranked opponents at 100lbs, No. 6 Gabi Robertson scored a pin for the Golden Hawks over No. 5 Myah Rausch. Others that had at least one victory on the night included Ashlee Farrier, Marissa Cline, Grace Conway, and Mardie Berry. Mid-Prairie avenges their loss to the Prairie Hawks earlier this year, their only dual setback of the season, to end that portion of their schedule 5-1. This year’s seniors include Grace Conway, Marissa Cline and Mia Garvey. The Mid-Prairie girls are back in action Saturday in Wellman when they host their home tournament.
