Schuyler Girls Wrestling

18/01/2025

Its been a busy couple of days this week. The girls dualed Logan View Thursday. Won 65-12. We had to give up 2 forfeits but won every wrestling match that night.
Friday we hosted our invite and it was extremely tough. All 16 man brackets were full or nearly full and all brackets had 8-12 girls with winning records. Some people were complaining about how long the tournament was running, but when everyone is good and match ups are tough the matches go the distance. The Schuyler Girls wrestled well and held their own. The Varsity girls had 5 Medalists Yuritza Mejia 100lb 3rd, Sherlyn Vicente 105lb 5th, Sinai Sanchez 110lb 5th, Lauren Wemhoff 135 3rd, and Miriam Deanda 140lb 4th. On the JV side we had 6 medalists. We only place the top 3 in these brackets most were 4, 5, or 6 man round robins. Gabby Romero 115 3rd, Luz Gazpar 125 3rd, Evelyn Becerra 130lb 2nd, Elizabeth Nunez 135lb 2nd, Linda Sebastian 145lb 2nd, Herlinda Mateo 170lb 2nd.

Next week we.travel to Seward Thursday for a dual and Plattsmouth invite on Friday.
Middle School Girls host their tournament next Saturday at the High School.

Yesterday after wrestling we stopped in GI to eat at Wave Pizza. There was another large group of people having a birthday party for a girl. When the party started singing Happy Birthday to the girl our entire team joined in.
When I went to pay the bill the waitress told me the Grandpa of the girl picked up our tab. I never did catch his name. I was floored because it was several 100 dollars.
I know our team thanked him as we walked out. But I just want to express our gratitude again. It doesn't happen very often, the random acts of kindness.

Parents of girl wrestlers. Please watch this video. I express every year about wearing the correct competition sports bra. I don't think the message ever reaches home. They don't need to wear it for practice but has been stressed about wearing under their singlets.

This video is to help female wrestlers pick the correct undergarments for competition.

All these young ladies plus around 15 more have been working the concession stands at the home Husker games this season. It is one of our best ways to earn money for our team so the girls can get gear and equipment for our wrestling team.
It's a lot of work, but the girls do a great job and have fun throughout the day. They are exhausted by the time we get back home.
Looking forward to a great season girls.

I had a chance to go watch these girls at their wrestle-offs today for SCC Bobcat wrestling team. They both made quick work of their opponents both getting takedowns and pins in the first period. I can't wait to see how they do this year. Nice job ladies.
It was good to see and talk with both of you. Thanks for the hugs and laughs.
Good Luck this season!

The Lady Luck Wrestling Dual team finished 6th out of 14 teams. We pushed NWA red team to the wire in pool play. Had a great last match win at 235 to win the first dual of the silver bracket 35-33.
The girls really learned a lot this weekend. They got a little. Beat up too but they all know it will make them better in the long run.
I am so proud of all of them and can't wait to see how they end up by the end of this years Wrestling season.
Thank you girls for a job well done.
I also want to give a big thank you to Chad and Staci Lemburg. They helped out tremendously with running clock and helping coach in the corner. It was nice having the support and a chance to bounce ideas off of you.

This is one of my favorite parts about our trips. The girls make me laugh. The conversations and the little phrases they use.. their laughs and the comradery. They learn new things about the other schools they each go to and similarities and differences. Some things I don't really need to hear too.
I just am fortunate I get the opportunity to be around great people and they make me become a better person too.
Thank you girls for the new memories.
