MFL MarMac wrestlers Kadence Pape and Cortney Schroeder competed in the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association Girls State Meet in Coralville on Jan. 22-23.

 

Pape placed eighth in the 120-pound bracket, making her the first Bulldog to medal at Girls State.

 

The sophomore started the meet off on a high note, pinning Piper Bartmess from Ames in under a minute. She followed that up with a fall over Jacqueline Bunten of Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln.

 

Pape was pinned by Bettendorf’s Alexys Petersen in her third match, but rebounded on the back side of the bracket, earning three straight falls. The wins came against Chyann Bullerman-Yu of Crestwood, Charity Mickles of Woodward-Granger and Dakota Whitman of Independence.

 

Pape lost her next match to Sioux City East’s Angeleena Rasmussen by 7-3 decision, putting her in the seventh-place match. There, she was pinned by Lexi Hennik from Central City, cementing the eighth-place finish.

 

“I’m very proud to get our first medalist,” said head coach Chet Bachman. “It was fitting that it was Kadence, who’s really pushed the girls program forward and set the bar.”

 

“She put in the time and earned it,” he added.

 

MFL MarMac’s other Girls State participant was junior Cortney Schroeder. She lost her opening 132-pound match by fall to Alicia Nicolas of Ames, then received a bye in the second round. She was pinned by Treynor’s Lillia Williams in the following match, ending her tournament run.
