Florida Super 32 Early Entry Recap (Girls)
As I’m sure you are aware … technically there is no Super 32 Early Entry for the girls division, but the Florida crew doesn’t want the girls to miss out on an opportunity to compete - so they host one anyway. One of the best things about the girls tournament is that it is both freestyle and folkstyle … keep in mind that the Super 32 Tournament in Greensboro in about a month is strictly freestyle for the girls (the boys on the other hand is strictly folkstyle).
We saw 3 double champs (claiming the top spot in both freestyle and folkstyle) and the group was headlined by Well Trained’s Camdyn Elliott. Elliott downed defending State champ Joslyn Johnson in both styles. Gladiator’s Willow White won both styles at 123, and Riverdale’s Juliana Caisse claimed the title at 139. We saw a different hammer claim the top step at each of the other weights.
