FARGO, N.D. -- It was a rough night for returning champions, as only one of four were able to win again at the Cadet Women's Nationals, the first tournament in Fargo again this year.
Colorado's Ashlyn Ortega was the only repeat champion, winning her second straight at 132 pounds. Ortega had a strong first period, jumping to an 8-0 lead, before finishing off a technical fall in the second period over Cassandra Olive of California. Ortega was also a UWW Cadet Nationals champion earlier this year.
Colorado also featured the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler, Jerzie Estrada at 124 pounds. Estrada, a first-year Cadet, scored a key second-period four-point hip toss to win the criteria in a 6-6 match against Teniya Alo of Hawaii. Alo scored a two takedown on the buzzer in a flurry to tie it at 6-6, but was not awarded additional backpoints when the exchange was reviewed by officials.
