HOLT – For Holt High senior Molly Root, wrestling isn’t just about the grind on the mat, it’s about fun, growth, and the lessons she carries with her off the mat. Competing in the 100-pound division, Root has become a determined member of the Lady Rams wrestling team, balancing her passion for competition with the demands of being a student-athlete.

Root first stepped into the sport because she wanted to try something new and exciting. “Just to get into a sport that was fun and seeing people do it,” she said of her inspiration. That decision has blossomed into a steady commitment fueled by the guidance of her biggest influence, Coach Jim Hafke.

What Root loves most is the thrill of competition. “Going to tournaments,” she said without hesitation. But the road hasn’t been without challenges. She admits that “taking shots” has been her toughest hurdle so far, though she continues to push herself to improve in that area.

Her first match remains a vivid memory, “a lot of hand fighting and defense,” she recalled, adding that despite the nerves, “it felt good.” One of her proudest moments came when she was able to hold her own against a wrestler who placed fourth in the state. “Being able to stay with a girl that took 4th in State,” she said, is something she’ll always carry as motivation.

Root, is one of many athletes interviewed for Breaking the Mold: Girls Wrestling Surging in Michigan High Schools.

This fall, Root will take her wrestling journey to a whole new level. She has been selected to represent Team USA Women’s Beach Wrestling at the Beach Wrestling World Championships in Katerini, Greece, September 25–26, where she will compete in the 45kg division.

“I’m incredibly honored and excited to share that I’ve been selected to represent Team USA Women’s Beach Wrestling this year!” Root said. “To be able to step onto the world stage and compete against the best in the world means so much to me.”

But the opportunity comes with challenges off the mat as well. “What many people don’t realize is that at the world level, all costs are the responsibility of the athletes. That means travel, lodging, and competition fees are all out-of-pocket,” she explained.

To make this dream possible, Root is reaching out to the community for support. “Whether it’s a sponsorship or a personal donation, any amount helps and goes directly toward getting me to Greece to compete against the best in the world,” she said. “Your support not only helps cover expenses, but also allows me to proudly represent our community and country on the international stage.”

Back home, Root continues to train with the Lady Rams. A typical week is demanding: drilling, live wrestling, and running. But she embraces the work, especially with her teammates by her side. “We don’t give up,” she said of the Rams’ identity on the mat.

She admires her coach’s relentless approach, which often echoes in her own attitude toward the sport. “Just wrestle, don’t think, and keep moving through things,” she recalled of his advice. “If you try to stop, he will make you keep doing it until you get it down.”

On the mat, Root favors her signature move, the “head inside single dump.” Off the mat, she’s just as relatable as any high schooler, laughing at a time when an opponent unexpectedly shot at her ankles, sending her straight to her back, or imagining karaoke nights where her teammate Shea would belt out “Party in the USA.”

If wrestling had walkout music like boxing or MMA, Root says hers might be “a song by Ice.” Away from wrestling, she enjoys English class, dreams of attending Davenport University, and likes unwinding with tennis. When it comes to food, Wing Stop tops the list, and she hopes to one day travel to Hawaii.

For now, Root is focused on her dual journey: finishing strong as a Holt senior and preparing to step onto the world stage in Greece. Her advice for anyone looking to start wrestling reflects the same grit she carries with her to the mat: “It can be hard at first, but you will get it eventually, and it is really fun,” Root said.

HOLT, Mich. — At just 17 years old, Izrael Diego Canales is already making a name for himself in Holt High School’s storied wrestling program. Competing in the 125-pound weight class for the boys varsity team, the sophomore brings intensity, pride, and a deep sense of brotherhood to the mat.

His reason for starting wrestling? Sibling rivalry.

“I got into wrestling to beat my brother, Omar,” Canales said with a smile. But what began as a personal challenge quickly turned into a passion.

“The thing I love most about wrestling is the challenge,” he added.

Canales draws inspiration from some of the sport’s biggest names. His favorite wrestler is Spencer Lee, while he considers Cael Sanderson the greatest of all time. But it’s his older brother Omar — not a national star — who has played the most important role in shaping him into the wrestler he is today.

“My best memory is being accepted into Holt’s wrestling program,” he said. “It felt like I found my place.”

That sense of belonging carries through the team.

“What I like most is that we’re a family,” Canales said. “I definitely recommend wrestling. It builds a lot of character.”

Before a match, Canales gets in the zone by warming up and dancing to music. His favorite artist? Kanye West. His dream post-match meal? Orange chicken from Panda Express.

Beyond this season, his focus is on growth and progress. “My goal is to learn and improve,” he said. Long-term, he hopes to qualify for the state tournament before graduation.

Canales comes from a family deeply rooted in wrestling tradition. His focus remains on self-improvement as he works toward his ultimate goal—qualifying for the Michigan High School Wrestling Championships, known as “States,” held at Ford Field in Detroit.

LANSING — For Ayan Rosalee Kelley, a varsity wrestler at Lansing Sexton High School, wrestling started as a personal goal—but it quickly turned into something much more. Competing in both the boys’ 165-pound division and the girls’ 155-pound class, Kelley is a proud representative of Sexton’s rising girls wrestling program.

“I initially got into it to lose weight,” Kelley said. “But as I continued with it—even after I lost the weight—I came to love the sport.”

For Kelley, wrestling has become more than just a sport; it’s a safe and supportive environment. “What I like most about being on the wrestling team is that there’s no judgment,” she said. “I love the familial bonds and the wrestling community. It’s like having a second family—everyone supports each other, and you grow stronger together.”

Her favorite memory so far? “Winning districts last year. That was unforgettable.”

Kelley is driven by big goals, “I want to place at regionals. If I can make it to States and place as well, that would be amazing.”

Preparation is key. “I prepare by eating good and trying my hardest in practice to get ready for upcoming matches,” she explained.

Support from coaches and family has been vital to her journey. “Coach Jeffery Howard, Coach Aaron Tucker, and most of all my mother and my family—they’ve helped me become the wrestler I am today,” Kelley said.

But Kelley’s goals go far beyond the wrestling mat. After high school, she hopes to become an anesthesiologist—starting as a paramedic, or possibly becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). And yes, she wants to keep wrestling in college too.

Warrior Nation Welcomes Ayan Kelley

Surrounded by her family, friends, teachers, and coaches, Kelley recently signed her letter of intent to wrestle for Rochester Christian University (RCU). The milestone moment marks the next chapter in Kelley’s wrestling journey.

“The entire RCU community is thrilled to have Ayan on board and looks forward to the impact she will make both on and off the mat,” said Wesley Maskill, RCU head wrestling coach.

Kelley’s resume speaks for itself. She is a two-time MHSAA state qualifier and two-time conference champion, accomplishments that highlight her skill, resilience, and dedication.

“Her dedication, work ethic, and competitive spirit make her a perfect fit for the growing RCU team,” Maskill said. “The Warrior community is proud to welcome Ayan Kelley to the Rochester Christian University family.”

Off the mat, Canales enjoys art class and dreams of one day attending the University of Michigan. If his life were made into a movie, he thinks Tom Holland would be the perfect actor to play him.

Canales comes from a family deeply rooted in wrestling tradition. In the off-season, he stays active by working at wrestling tournaments and attending training camps across Michigan. His focus remains on self-improvement as he works toward his ultimate goal—qualifying for the Michigan High School Wrestling Championships, known as “States,” held at Ford Field in Detroit.

LANSING – The Don Johnson Field House in Lansing was alive on May 3, as it hosted the WAAAM States 2025, wrestling tournament that brought together some of the most promising young athletes from across Michigan.

Allandale Wrestling Club’s 6-year-old wrestler, Chloe Barker was among the youngest competitors at the event and she was ready to take on the competition coming her way.

Barker finished in third place in the eight and younger 43/46-weight-class.

“I feel good about my first win, Barker said, holding her teddy bear on the mat after defeating James Jacobs with a fall of .55 seconds.

The event began at 9 am, and was a full day of wrestling for both high school and middle school divisions.

A total of 58 teams participated with more than 300 wrestlers testing their skills on the mat.

Athletes competed in various weight classes, with matches held throughout the day. The competition was fierce highlighting the depth of talent present. Coaches and spectators filled the stands, offering support and encouragement to the young competitors.

“Placing third at the WAAAM tournament is one of my proudest moments in life,” said Jaylin Potter, a ninth grader with Premier Wrestling. “My first match was a difficult one. My opponent was ranked 5th in the state. My stomach was in knots and I was super nervous, but the excitement was amazing! I just knew I was there to try my hardest to win.”

LANSING, MI — Matt Becker, a celebrated member of Sexton High School’s Hall of Fame and a key part of the school’s 1987 State Champion Wrestling Team, has once again made headlines—this time on the national stage.

Competing in Las Vegas at the 2025 CLAW US Open, hosted by USA Wrestling, Becker claimed the Masters Division D 70kg Freestyle National Title, proving that his passion and talent for wrestling remain as strong as ever.

Becker, who was inducted into the Sexton Hall of Fame for his achievements as a high school athlete, has continued to represent his roots with pride. His latest victory places him among the elite in his age division and highlights a lifelong dedication to the sport.

The CLAW US Open is one of the premier events on the USA Wrestling calendar, drawing top athletes from across the country to compete in various divisions and styles.

As word of his win spread, so did the pride from his alma mater and hometown. The Sexton community, already proud of Becker’s legacy, is celebrating yet another milestone in a remarkable wrestling journey.

In front of a crowd of classmates, proud family members, devoted coaches, and longtime teachers, Waverly High School senior and all-state wrestler Victoria Carter officially signed her letter of intent to continue her wrestling career at Alma College.

The signing ceremony, held in the Waverly High School gymnasium, marked the culmination of years of hard work, discipline, and dedication for the standout student-athlete. A trailblazer on and off the mat, she made school history as one of Waverly’s most accomplished female wrestlers, earning all-state honors and becoming a respected leader in the wrestling community.

Known for her fierce takedowns, relentless drive, and sportsmanship, she has built a reputation not only as a top competitor but also as a role model for younger athletes, especially girls entering the sport.

Victoria Carter concluded her senior wrestling season at Waverly High School with a 31-8 record, placing sixth in the 170-pound weight class at the 2025 MHSAA Girls Wrestling State Championships . She made history as Waverly’s first three-time state qualifier and the first female wrestler from the school to win both district and regional titles

Alma College, a strong NCAA Division III wrestling program, has been building a reputation for developing top-tier talent, and her signing marks another win for the Scots. The college expressed excitement in welcoming her to the team, where she is expected to make an immediate impact.

DETROIT – Ford Field was buzzing again this weekend, and 24,000 fans saw history made multiple ways during the MHSAA Girls Wrestling Finals on Saturday.

Individually, Fowlerville senior Margaret Buurma became the first girl to win four Individual Finals titles.

Also for the first time, the MHSAA recognized a girls team champion based on the individual points and places scored by each school. Grand Haven, scoring 69.5 points, emerged as the winner followed by runner-up Lowell (59) and Fowlerville (57).

Buurma’s historic fourth title didn’t come easily as she held off Romeo junior Belicia Manuel in a battle of past Finals champions by 1-0 decision in the 145-pound title match.

“The way it went down – 1-0 – was a win just as well as 10-0,” said Buurma, who plans to continue her career collegiately. “It means so much to me. Just to be able to be a role model for younger girls in Michigan and have something for them to look forward to when they get older. It’s just amazing, and I couldn’t do it without my support system.”

Meanwhile, Plainwell’s Madison Nieuwenhuis (100), Westland John Glenn’s Nakayla Dawson (110) and Caledonia’s Maddie Hayden (170) earned three-peats. All are juniors and will try and match Buurma’s four-peat next season.

100

Champion: Madison Nieuwenhuis, Plainwell, Jr. (26-0)
Technical Fall (2:34) 17-1, over Veronica Tapia, Lowell, Jr. (31-2)

Nieuwenhuis quickly went on the offensive to record the pin and garner her third-consecutive MHSAA individual title to go along with an unbeaten season.

She suffered a bloody lip and needed an injury timeout, but nothing could stop her.

“I just tried getting better attacks than last time,” Nieuwenhuis said. “I’m pretty excited about it, and hopefully I can get one more next year. I think the season went really well, and I think I grew a lot.”

105

Champion: Tatianna Castillo, Lowell, Fr. (28-0)
Fall, 5:05, over Lillee Denson, St. Clair Shores Lakeview, Jr. (19-3)

Castillo made quite a debut, going undefeated. And for every pin this season, she received a Mamba candy from the Lowell coaching staff signifying that she has that “Mamba Mentality.”

Lowell is known for its boys champion powerhouse teams in Division 2, and Castillo has the distinction of becoming the school’s first girls individual champ.

“It was so emotional. I really didn’t know how to feel,” Castillo said. “I definitely had some tears after the matches. It’s so amazing.”

Castillo was not familiar with Denson as an opponent, so she didn’t alter her strategy.

“I just went in there and wrestled my way,” Castillo said.

110

Champion: Nakayla Dawson, Westland John Glenn, Jr. (12-0)
Fall, 1:55, over Shai Curtiss, Shepherd, Jr. (38-2)

Dawson, who has already wrestled nearly 100 male opponents during her prep career, also joined the three Individual Finals title club with a decisive victory via pin over Curtiss.

“I don’t worry about who I wrestled because if I look at rankings and look what they did and it might get into my head and I might not wrestle as good as I could,” Dawson said. “I really don’t worry about who I wrestle, and I just go out and wrestle.”

Dawson placed third in her weight class at the Kensington Lakes Activities Association Tournament, against a bracket filled with boys. Her overall record this season was 38-6, and she won all 12 matches versus females.

“I think it benefits me because of the strength. It just prepares me for all this and makes me better,” Dawson said.

115

Champion: Gracey Barry, Grand Haven, Sr. (33-1)
Decision, 4-3, over Kassie Sapp, Whitehall, Fr. (15-3)

In one of the most competitive matches of the day, the senior Barry was able to edge the freshman Sapp by a mere point.

Barry was a runner-up a year ago and also a Finals qualifier as a sophomore.

“I’ve seen that girl (Sapp) at Districts, I’ve seen her at Regionals,” Barry said. “Each time it’s gotten closer and closer. It was a tough match, and I’m just completely in shock right now. This has been my dream probably since I was 5 years old. My dad (Joe) has been my wrestling coach my whole life. He won three titles at Mason. My goal was just to get to the top of that podium, and I’m very proud.”

120

Champion: Cheyenne Frank, Oxford, Jr. (26-0)
Decision, 9-4, over Sky Langewicz, Sr., Algonac (15-4)

Frank jumped out to a 6-0 lead and went on to post a five-point decision for her first title and to cap an undefeated season.

Langewicz, the taller competitor, tried to use her leverage against Frank.

“I’ve wrestled two other times – well three times – one last year and then at Districts and Regionals this year,” Frank said. “I guess my game plan was to go in, like working all my stuff and hand fighting, and just stick to my stuff, perfect my stuff and find different ways to tie up. She is such a talented wrestler. It was definitely harder to use some of my stuff.”

As a sophomore, Frank finished as a runner-up, and she placed fifth as a freshman. On Saturday, she also recorded her 100^th career win.

“It’s crazy, all my growth in wrestling … it’s really an incredible thing,” Frank said. “It makes me happy.”

125

Champion: Cecilia Williams, Mason, Jr. (10-0)
Fall, 1:55, over Lola Barkby, Sturgis, Sr. (22-2)

After finishing runner-up as a freshman, Williams missed the Finals during her sophomore season with both a knee problem and hip injury, but bounced back Saturday to record her first state crown.

Barkby came in as the reigning champion at 120.

“I feel a lot better, my body … no injuries at all, I’m all healed up,” Williams said. “I never wrestled her (Barkby). My biggest problem was the crowd and all these people, so I was just trying to wrestle myself. I was just trying to get to her legs … the Peterson (roll).”

130

Champion: Angellaya Burden, Mio, Soph. (25-2)
Fall, 3:04, over Brynn Bower, Grand Haven, Sr. (18-3)

Burden overcame an early 5-2 deficit to record the pin and earn her first championship. She also had pinned Bower in the first period at the Regional.

Burden, who was fourth a year ago at 125, became Mio’s first girls Finals champion.

“I just had to get off the bottom and score,” said Burden, who has been wrestling since the third grade.

135

Champion: Isabella Cepak, South Lyon East, Sr. (18-0)
Fall, 0:19, over Kennedi Wahmhoff, Mason, Sr. (31-2)

After finishing as a runner-up two times, Cepak got to the mountaintop with the fastest pin (19 seconds) in the girls Finals.

“That was the plan all along, to go for it right off the whistle,” Cepak said. “I had never faced her before.”

Going into her senior season, Cepak brought a new attitude and a new confidence.

“Just finally feeling like I wrestle to my full ability and didn’t hold myself back,” she said. “That’s how it feels to finally win, I guess, for this year.”

140

Champion: Nanda Kibi, Plymouth, Jr. (31-1)
Fall, 2:35, over Mackenna Webster, Bronson, Jr. (33-1)

After not qualifying last year as a sophomore following an eighth-place finish as a ninth-grader, Kibi was on a mission this season and proved it with a pin over Webster, who suffered her only setback this winter.

During the season, Kibi impressed with 27 pins among her 31 victories.

“I didn’t make it out last year, and it was just all year what I’ve been working through,” she said. “And, I went to Nationals and I said I can win a state championship, so I just had to put the work in all year.”

Webster had a solid resumè coming into the Finals.

“I’ve never wrestled her,” Kibi said. “At Fargo (N.D.) she placed one place ahead of me, and that’s all I knew about her. I just wrestled the way I normally do.”

145

Champion: Margaret Buurma, Fowlerville, Sr. (38-3)
Decision, 1-0, over Belicia Manuel, Romeo, Jr. (30-3)

The two finalists have had somewhat of a history. They trained a little bit together over the summer in a battle of reigning champions.

Buurma was able to get an early point Saturday and hold on for the victory.

“We wrestled a lot on the Team Michigan teams together,” Manuel said. “The first time I’ve really wrestled her was this year. I’ve always been a little bit smaller, but I’m really glad I had the opportunity to face amazing wrestlers throughout the entire weekend and to be able to push myself to my best extent.”

155

Champion: Kaili Manuel, Romeo, Soph. (41-0)
Fall, 4:29, over Maddison Ward, Niles, Sr. (30-1)

Waiting in the staging area while her sister Belicia was wrestling a close match for the 145 title, Kaili tried to stay focused and in the moment.

Kaili captured her second-straight title with a pin versus Ward, who suffered her only defeat of the year and was the reigning champion with a 64-1 record over the past two seasons.

“It fun along the process and watching my sister wrestle before me. … It’s kind of like a little bit of stress, but it’s fun overall,” said Kaili, who won at 145 last year. “Today, I was just looking to work moves and stuff. I was aiming for the pin, but it kind of like came to me. I’m happy, it’s exciting and it’s nice, too. I want another one, and I’m going for four. I was hoping to win with her (Belicia), but things happen. We’ll come back next year for it.”

170

Champion: Maddie Hayden, Caledonia, Jr. (22-1)
Decision, 5-0, over Raven Aldridge, Clinton, Sr. (33-5)

After winning the 155 titles both as a freshman and sophomore, Hayden put in a business-like effort to earn her third-straight crown.

It was the first meeting between the two.

“I had never seen her, but I knew of her just based (on) we wrestle a lot of the same (opponents),” Hayden said. “To be honest, my game plan was to get in, get out.”

Hayden got a late start to the season and bumped up a weight class. She didn’t wrestle until November after suffering a concussion in a tourney prior to the preseason.

“When you can’t work out, you can’t wrestle, but I’d like to be back at 155,” she said.

190

Champion: Kanata Richardson, Bloomfield Hills, Jr. (28-2)
Decision, 4-2, over Halle Spears, Midland, Jr. (27-3)

As a freshman, Richardson missed the MHSAA Tournament with both an MCL and ACL tear before finishing fourth as a sophomore a year ago.

Against Spears, she was able to stay on her feet and avoid any major takedowns.

“Last year at states and I beat her by one point in the quarterfinals,” Richardson said. “Then this year, in the Brighton tournament I lost to her. And I lost to her again at Regionals in triple overtime by one point. Today, I just had to prove it to myself and prove to everybody else that I’m the best, and that’s what I was going to do. I stuck with what I had. I trusted God’s plan and He just told me to keep that arm on that fireman’s (carry), and I did.”

235

Champion: Isabel Anaya, Holland West Ottawa (33-0)
Decision, 8-2, over Annmarie Green, Clare (16-1)

After placing fifth last year, third as a sophomore and seventh as a ninth-grader, Anaya made it to the top of the podium with a victory over Green, who suffered her only loss of the season.

“I wrestled her three or four other times, and I’ve only ever beaten her once,” Anaya said. “The other times she would get me into positions and I wouldn’t know what to do, and she’d just stick me. But this time she didn’t stick me.”

Anaya, who plans to wrestle in college but hasn’t decided where, said she changed her strategy against the top-seeded Green.

“I didn’t try things before that didn’t work,” Anaya said. “I practiced millions of different moves to figure out what would be the best to do today.”

DETROIT — Nobody said climbing the Michigan High School Athletic Association Wrestling Girls Championship mountain was easy. Making it to the top of the mountain is even harder, but a few girls from the Greater Lansing Area were back at Detroit’s Ford Field to grapple for a shot at the State Title.

The best of the best were all there with one goal to win it all over the weekend on February 28, and March 1.

“You have to be able to embrace challenges and you have to be able to accept failure and be able to accept the challenge of the possible outcome. Mentally it’s just locking yourself into a space that says I can do this and I’m going to be challenged, but I’m going to rise to the occasion,” said Michigan Revolution Head Coach Mario Flores, about the mentality and effort it takes to reach the State Championship. “I’m here representing women’s wrestling in Michigan, our Club (Michigan Revolution) and just women’s wrestling as a body.”

Lansing Schools sent Sexton High Senior Ayan Kelley and Eastern High Junior Olivia Delcaruz to the State Championship. Waverly High returned with Senior Victoria Carter, and joining her were teammates Jazlynn Jones, a sophomore, and Se ‘nyah Suddeth-Doss, a freshman. Holt High’s Olivia Root made her return. Perry High Senior Grace Spiess was back. Dewitt High Seniors Jamie Cook and Ryleigh Ruiz made their back-to-back return. Also back in action were Fowlerville’s Margaret and Anna Burma, Cayden Taylor, Hannah Blyvies, Kayley Murphy, Kiely Davis, and Tommi Kleinschmidt. Dansville High Abree Myer was back too.

Mason High Junior Cecillia Williams was on her mission to win it all.

And she did just that, solidifying her name in the annals of Michigan High School Wrestling, grappling her way through the gauntlet of competition to win the state championship in the 125 weight-class by defeating Lola Barkby, the reigning 120-pound champion.

“It was a lot of hard work and practicing even when you don’t feel like it, just keep going,” Williams said about her run for the championship. “She said she was looking forward to wrestling everybody.”

Williams’ chase for the state crown comes after finishing second at State her freshman year and missing her sophomore campaign because of a knee and hip injury.

On her way to the championship match Williams defeated Margaret Young, Madisyn Harrison and Serenity Hayes.

Making history was Fowlerville High Senior Margaret Buurma in the 145 weight-class as she became the first female to win four individual state titles by defeating Belicia Manuel, a junior from Romeo High in front of 24,000 people in attendance at the State Championship over the weekend.

Earning All-State honors from around the Lansing Area were Aubree Mayr, 100-pounds, 3rd Place of Dansville High; Ryleigh Ruiz, 110-pounds, 5th Place of DeWitt High; Cecilia Williams, 125-pounds, 1st Place of Mason High; Jamie Cook, 125-pounds, 3rd Place of DeWitt High; Olivia Root, 125-pounds, 5th Place of Holt High; Hannah Blyveis, 130-pounds, 4th Place of Fowlerville High; Margaret Buurma, 145-pounds, 1st Place of Fowlerville High; Victoria Carter of Waverly, 170-pounds, 6th Place of Waverly High; Mila Dubroja, 235-pounds, 6th Place of Eaton Rapids High; Rylan Johns, 235-pounds, 8th Place of Portland High.

Lansing Eastern High Junior Olivia Delacruz made return to the State tournament for the third time. On Friday Delacruz won her first match against Medow Gomez, a senior carrying a 23-7 record. Delacurz’s next match pitted her against the reigning second place medalist in the 115 weight-class, Gracie Barry with a record 32-1 wrestling for Grand Haven High. Delacruz would go on to lose the match 10-0 and she did not survive the blood rounds respectively as she was defeated by Dezarea Mathis, 30-4, of Hastings High. This year Delacruz finished with a record of 28-8 in the 115-pound weight-class after earning All-State honors last year finishing No. 8 in the 105 weight-class.

“I’m okay, Delacruz said after her match. “I will work hard to make it back to States my senior year.”

Waverly High’s Jazlynn Jones, a sophomore, made her first appearance at States in the 115 weight class. Jones was eliminated after losing her first two matches respectively. Jones finished her season with a record of 24-19. She was defeated by Kennedy Perez, a senior and Dezarea Mathis.

Fowlerville High’s Anna Buurma, a sophomore, finished the day in the 115 weight-class winning her first match against Milayna Shea and was defeated by Ziona Gardner in the second round and Emma Baker in the blood rounds respectively. Burrma ends her season with a 37-11 season record.

Lansing Sexton High’s Senior Ayan Kelley Made her triumphant return to States in the 155 weight-class carrying a 30-8 record heading into States. Kelley was defeated in her two matches of the competition respectively. She faced off against Brooklyn Sage, a senior, who finished No. 7 last year. In Kelley’s second match she was defeated by Paige Wilman.

Waverly High Senior Victoria Carter pushed her way through the winners bracket on Friday. Leading up to her semi-finals match Carter defeated Angel Miller and London Crossley before colliding with Maddie Hayden who defeated her and went on to claim the 170 weight-class crown.

Dewitt High Senior Jaimie Cook made it to the semi-finals where she faced off against Lola Barkby and was unsuccessful. Cook went on to claim the third place medal by defeating Jenna Bradford to reach the match for third place where she ultimately defeated Serenity Hayes. Last year Cook finished No. 2 in the 125 weight-class.

Road to Ford Field

The road to Michigan high school wrestling glory runs through Ford Field, and the state’s best grapplers prepare for the Michigan High School Athletic Association State Championships all season. Among them were the Lansing area regional champions, determined to cement their legacies and bring home the state titles in their respective divisions.

“My goal is to put my name on the board in our school wrestling room with all the other state champions from Eastern,” Delacruz said.

Delacruz is Lansing Eastern’s first female wrestler to advance to the championship round. This weekend marks her third consecutive trip since reaching States as a freshman.

“It felt exciting, I was excited, and nervous entering the regional round, but after my first match it all went away,” Delacruz said about her recent matches. “Qualifying for States was like another win for me. It felt like I earned it knowing girls just had districts the week before for the first time ever in Michigan. I feel great.”

She said going to States for the third time is exciting and it’s going to be a fun trip, and extra special because of the people who come to support her and cheer for her on her quest to bring home the state championship title.

Also returning to States was Ayan Kelley, a Senior at Sexton High wrestling in the 155- division and carrying a 30-6 record. She finished No. 3 at the Division 3 Regional. Joining Kelly in the same division is Fowlerville High’s Tommi Kleinschmidt, a senior with a 10-4 record.

Mason High’s Ceclia Williams is the Region Three No. 1 seed in the 125-division with a 6-0 record. Following her respectively, are Dewitt High’s Jaime Cook, 39-3, who finished No. 2 and Holt High’s Olivia Root, No. 3 with a record of 34-8.

Dewitt High’s Ryliegh Ruiz, a senior holding a 35-7 record entering States makes her return as the No. 2 seed from region three. She returned to capitalize on her third place finish last year at Ford Field.

The No. 3 State ranked Lady Gladiators team sent seven members to battle on the mat. Leading the team is three-time defending champion Margaret Buurma, 34-4, 145-pound division. Also appearing for the Lady Gladiators are Cayden Taylor, junior,105-pound, 25-17; Anna Buurma, sophomore, 115-pounds, 35-7; Hannah Blyveis, senior, 130-pound, 36-4; Kaley Murphy, junior, 135-pound, 27-12; Kiely Davis, junior, 115 15-5; Tommi Kleinschmidt, senior, 155-pound, 10-4.

Waverly High girls wrestling team is led by Senior Victoria Carter, 29-5 in the 190-weight class. She has been dominating on the mat. She returned to States for another run for the championship. This time as the reigning District and Regional MHSAA No.Three Champion.

“I’m feeling really good,” Carter said about heading to State. “I’m looking forward to going over there and placing.”

Also heading to Ford Field with her are teammates Waverly High’s Sophomore Jazlyn Jones, 24-15, 115-weight class and Freshman Se`nyah Suddeth-doss,13-9, wrestling in the 190-weight-class.

Other area champions headed to the state finals are Perry High’s Grace Spiess, 23-4, wrestling in the 140-weight-class. Spiess is the No.1 seed out of Region Three.
