    Cumberlands women face international competition

    The University of the Cumberlands (formerly Cumberland College) women's wrestling team divided to participate in two tournaments on Saturday February 4, 2006.

    Three UC ladies traveled to Colorado Springs, CO to compete in the Dave Schultz Memorial International. The ladies contended against some of the world's finest wrestlers. Alaina Berube (Escanaba, MI) won a gold medal in the 63 kg weight division by pinning her opponent in the third period. Othella Lucas (San Diego, CA) wrestled in the 59 kg bracket, while Heather Martin (Wellington, OH) competed at 67 kg. Lucas and Martin each finished fifth in their respective weight classes.

    Several other Patriot ladies competed in the Western Open in London, Ontario. Deseree Cazares (South Grand Prairie, TX) defeated teammate Melissa Girard (Norway, MI) to earn a gold medal in the 48 kg division. At 51 kg, Jessica Medina (Pomona, CA) finished fourth. Also finishing forth was Warry Woodard (Smithfield, VA) competing in the 55 kg brackets. Krisha Childress (Goddard, KS) earned a bronze medal at 63 kg. Tabetha Golt (Chesapeake, VA) and Clarissa Dalke (Amarillo, TX) finished fourth in their respective divisions of 67 kg and 72 kg. Theresa Fennell (Amarillo, TX) finished the tournament with a bronze medal.

    The Patriot ladies will host the United States Girls Wrestling Association's Kentucky State Championships on February 18, 2006. This tournament will feature top elementary, middle school and high school wrestlers from throughout the country.
