REDWOOD FALLS — The Marshall girls wrestling team had plenty of notable performances at Saturday’s Redwood River Riot. The Tigers earned six top-3 finishes, including individual titles from Tattyana Rykhus, Hannah Ratajczak and Esther Say.
Rykhus earned the win in 112 for the Tigers. After receiving a first-round bye, she pinned each of her next three opponents to secure the title. Two of the three matches ended in under a minute, including a 20-second pin against Sartell-Saint Stephen’s Abigail Swenson. Even in the championship match, it took Rykhus just 1:24 to pin New Ulm Area’s Anna Pollard.
Ratajczak and Say each also went three-for-three with pins. Ratajczak pinned each of her first two opponents in the 142 bracket in under 30 seconds before defeating Wabasso’s Camryn Irlbeck in 1:08 in the championship. Say pinned Wabasso’s Heidi Foy in 0:31, but had to work more for her next two wins. Still, she pinned Saint James-Madelia’s Nevaeh Hanson in 1:55 and Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg’s Adamaris Chable Rodrigues in 3:54.
Kaya Koch earned a runner-up finish for Marshall in 148. She pinned her first two opponents in 1:05 and 51 seconds but, after a bye, was pinned by Wabasso’s Cassie Bliss in the championship match in 1:24.
