The Chagrin Valley Conference will send two girls wrestlers to the OHSAA state championships after strong performances at the Mentor District tournament over the weekend.
Perry’s Abby Cornwell and GG Dominish each finished among the top four in their respective weight classes to secure trips to Columbus for the state tournament, which will take place Friday through Sunday.
Cornwell finished as the district runner-up at 110 pounds, continuing an impressive postseason run. The Perry standout also has experience on the state stage after placing seventh at last year’s OHSAA state tournament.
Dominish earned a third-place finish at 115 pounds to qualify for state for the second straight season. She previously finished third at the state tournament last year and will look to build on that success when the action begins in Columbus.
Several other CVC wrestlers turned in strong performances at the district tournament and will remain in position as alternates should a state qualifier be unable to compete.
Trinity’s Koko Bryant placed fifth at 145 pounds, while Lakeside’s Isabella Hanna finished fifth at 155.
Multiple conference wrestlers also recorded sixth-place finishes at the tournament. Orange’s Natalie Martincic finished sixth at 140 pounds, Rootstown’s Morgan Giebel placed sixth at 155, Harvey’s Giselle Moreno took sixth at 190, and Perry’s Eva Kutscher rounded out the list with a sixth-place finish at 235.
With two wrestlers advancing, the CVC will once again be represented on Ohio’s biggest stage as Cornwell and Dominish prepare to compete against the state’s best this weekend in Columbus.
