Girls regional recaps: Rock Falls, Jacksonville, Mt. Zion, Civic Memorial, Metamora
By Gary Larsen for the IWCOA
ROCK FALLS REGIONAL
Kaneland and DeKalb battled it out for a team regional title at Rock Falls, with Kaneland eking out a 146.5-141 victory. The Knights finished with seven sectional qualifiers for this year’s Geneseo Sectional, including three individual regional champions, three third-placers, and one fourth-place qualifier.
“We brought eight wrestlers and unfortunately due to some injuries, had to leave four wrestlers at home,” Kaneland coach Josh West said. “When the day started, I didn’t know if we had enough to get it done. I knew there were a couple good teams there, especially DeKalb, and hats off to DeKalb and their girls. Conor (Infelise) has his DeKalb team firing on all cylinders.”
DeKalb also had three individual regional champs among its seven sectional qualifiers. Burlington Central (106.5) finished third, followed by Yorkville (85.5) and Sycamore (73) to round out the top five team finishes in the 25-team regional field.
Burlington Central and Yorkville had five sectional qualifiers apiece, and Sycamore had four qualifiers.
1st place: Kaneland (146.5)
There were four unbeaten regional champions at Rock Falls when the day ended, including Kaneland’s sophomore and returning state champion Angelina Gochis (29-0 at 110). Teammates Brooklyn Sheaffer (38-2 at 125) and Sadie Kinsella (27-9 at 190) were also regional champions for coach Josh West.
Gochis is aiming to burn a path to her second state title in her first two years of high school.
“Angelina Gochis, what else can I say?” Kaneland coach Josh West said. “She was dominant from start to finish, winning the regional. Her future in this sport is on the World and Olympic level, I truly believe that.
“Brooklyn Sheaffer was solid once again and she is coming into her own at the right time. She works hard and I expect to see her on the podium here in a few weeks. Sadie Kinsella was our other champion and Sadie did not wrestle her best but she still got it done.
Placing third for Kaneland and advancing in the state tournament were Dyani Torres (135), Caitlyn Manier (155) and Carly Duffing (190), along with fourth-placer Thalia Paton (115).
West applauded the solid day’s work of senior third-placers Torres and Duffing, the maturity and effort from the freshman Manier, and the effort Paton put forth in wrestling back for fourth.
Fourth-seeded Paton upset the tournament’s second seed in her consolation semifinal match to secure her ticket to the sectional meet.
“I’m happy for our girls, our program, and our school,” West said. “We will enjoy this for a little bit and then come Monday, it’s back to work.”
2nd place: DeKalb (141)
The Barbs got individual titles from Alex Gregorio-Perez (43-3 at 105), Lana Zimmerman (38-8 at 135) and Aarianna Bloyd (30-11 at 235), plus a second from Reese Zimmer (120), a third from Jade Weiss (100), and fourths from Frieda Hernandez (110) and Kayden Johnson (155) for coach Connor Infelise.

METAMORA REGIONAL
The girls from the Lincoln-Way co-op dominated the 31-team field at this year’s Metamora Regional, with 10 sectional qualifiers and 248 team points to win the first regional team title in program history.
“All I can say is all the preparation and matches we have wrestled this season has put our girls in the best spot possible,” Lincoln-Way coach Josh Napier said. “We have battled all season long and took our lumps to be ready for the post season.”
Minooka (134) was the area’s regional champion last year and placed second in Metamora. Joliet Central (103) placed third, followed by Morris (101) and Plainfield South (87.5) to round out the top five team finishes.

Napier also got seconds from Aubrey Barnes (115) and Liv Clumpner (135), and fourths from Claire Bray (130), Ella Giertuga (140) and Avery Holeman (155).
“In every practice they try to work harder than the day before,” Napier said. “We are gritty and tenacious, but also have some of the most mentally tough wrestlers in the state. They aren’t afraid to lose and they aren’t afraid to win. It’s been a great experience so far for the athletes and coaches.”
2nd: Minooka (134)
MInooka coach Paige Schoolman got a pair of regional runner-up finishes from Sabrina Charlebois (26-8 at 130) and Mia Lemberg (155), thirds from Ezra Rodriguez (140) and Palmer Calvey (145), and a fourth-place finish from Marian Nordsell (105).
