LA CROSSE — Superior freshman Neveah Surla was a part of history Saturday, as she competed in the WIAA's first state wrestling meet for girls.
Surla, competing at 185, went 2-2 and received honorable mention.
In her first match, Brindely Eternicka of Merrill pinned Surla in 1:22, but Surla won her next two matches in the consolation bracket: She pinned Briseis Metoxen of Freedom in 3:24 and then advanced when Madison Woyach-Baldr of Kenosha Indian Trails was forced to medically forfeit. Ana Adelmeyer of Lomira ended Surla's day with a pin in 1:44.
There were 224 wrestlers and 105 schools represented as the first 12 state champions were crowned.
