Ryleigh Sturgill wins both 16U and Junior Freestyle at SE Regions

Not many girls attempted both 16U and Juniors this weekend, but one was able to pull it off and claim a title in each division … Ryleigh Sturgill of Tennessee. Sturgill claimed the 100 lb. title in both divisions. She dominated 16U with two 21 second falls to claim the title and then added a fall and two superior decisions to claim the Junior title. Fellow Tennessean Senna Grassman stopped 16U Champ Mackenzie Carder’s run for a double title in the Junior 120 semifinal with a hard fought 8-6 decision … Grassman went on to beat Georgia’s Evey Hill to claim the title. Same thing happened at 125 where Alabama’s Evelyn Holmes Smith downed 16U Champ Isabella Ndinga Mbappe 10-2 in the finals. SE Regions featured some outstanding matches and some individuals that should make a run to a stop sign in Fargo.
