NEWTON — The South Tama girls’ wrestling team crowned six champions on its way to the team title at the Newton Cardinal Classic last Saturday, Dec. 7.

The Trojans tallied 260 points to distance themselves from the 12-team field. Carlisle (204.5) and Pella (142) were the next closest competitors.

Bracket champions for STC were London Jaennette (120 pounds), Keylee Holloway (125), Maylee Rucker (140), Paisley Bro (145), Abigail Chyma (155) and Autumn Elsbury (170).

Jaennette won three matches by fall, as did Holloway and Chyma. Bro beat back four competitors, all by pinfall, and Elsbury needed just two pins to win at 170 after receiving a first-round bye.

Elsbury, the defending state runner-up, is ranked No. 1 at 170 in Class 2A by IAwrestle, while Chyma is rated 10th.

STC also got second-place finishes from Livia Smith (100), Brooklyn Mitchell (130), Ava Perkins (135) and Kinley Jimenez (235).
