Churchill County wrestlers turned in a strong showing at the 3A Northern Regional tournament over the weekend, crowning two regional champions and sending a deep slate of qualifiers on to the state meet.
Braylon Byrd (120 pounds) and Carson Melendy (165) each captured Northern Regional titles, leading the Churchill County High School Greenwave to a fifth-place team finish in a competitive field.
Several other Greenwave wrestlers earned state berths with top-four finishes. Manuel “Manny” Barros placed fourth at 120 pounds, Trey Bradley took third at 126, Evan Garcia finished third at 138, Alijah Juarez placed fourth at 175, and Ashton McCourtney earned a fourth-place finish at 190.
Also advancing to state is girls qualifier Tommie Fitzer, who will compete alongside the boys this weekend.
With multiple podium finishes and several wrestlers narrowly missing the top four, the Greenwave program had a successful and encouraging weekend. The Churchill County qualifiers will compete at the Nevada State Wrestling Championships next weekend in Winnemucca.
