Philomath High freshman Makinzey Harrington earned a sixth-place medal Saturday at the Lady Dragon Invitational in Dallas, a tournament that featured wrestlers from 52 schools.
Harrington, competing at 130 pounds, won her first two matches by pin by defeating Eagle Point’s Malia Mahavong and McNary’s Teagan McCarthy. After falling in the quarterfinals to Barlow’s Taylor Ward, Harrington bounced back with a pin of Centennial’s Madelyn Knox in the consolation bracket before losing the fifth-place match to Estacada’s Caroline Hardesty.
Three Warriors each posted 2-2 records at the tournament. Freshman Carsyn Pettit-Juvenal wrestled at 110 pounds with two wins by pin over West Albany’s Lola Gilder and Mountain View’s Mia Dane. Freshman Rielly Ellingsen also went 2-2 at 115 pounds, recording pins over Reynolds’ Liliana Ibarra and Hood River’s Madison Rae.
Sophomore Sarah Robertson competed at 125 pounds and won her first two matches in quick fashion, pinning Barlow’s Sophia Thanane in 28 seconds and Crook County’s Marley Grant in 25 seconds.
Sophomore Addison Liddell wrestled at 135 pounds and finished 1-2 with a pin over McNary’s Paisley Shepherd.
In the team standings, Philomath tied for 40th with 32 points. North Salem won the tournament with 185.5 points, edging Thurston by five points.
