Three Twin Harbors wrestlers won regional championships at the WIAA Girls 1B/2B/1A/2A Region 2 Tournament on Saturday at Centralia High School.

Aberdeen’s Felicia Bell, Montesano’s Kya Roundtree and Raymond’s Nina Siribun each won their respective weight classes to lead a contingent of eight Twin Harbors wrestlers that earned a spot in the state tournament.

Bell (36-4 overall) was once again unstoppable, winning three matches – including a pinfall win over W.F. West’s Shelby Hazlett at 5:10 of the final – to win the 125-pound championship and lead the Bobcats to a second-place finish in the team standings.

Roundtree (32-3) was equally dominant, earning three pinfall wins and taking the 170-pound title with a pinfall win over Rainier’s Keira Anderson at 4:58.

Siribun defeated Shelton’s Angela Anderson via fall at 2:51 to go 3-0 on the day and secure the 235-pound championship.

Led by Bell, Aberdeen will be sending five grapplers to the state tournament. Peityn Munoz placed second at 140 pounds; Selena Martinez took second at 145; Mycah Good won the third/fourth-place match at 170; and Kadence Braaten will travel as an alternate after placing fourth at 145.
