Consolation finalists at Regional Tournament ... Waukon girls wrestling sophomore 120-pounder Makenna Kurth (photo above) and freshman 105-pounder Addison Donahue (photo below) each wrestled their way to the consolation finals matches of their respective weight classes at the Class 1A Region 3 Tournament hosted by East Buchanan High School Friday, January 31. Kurth recorded three pins in her four matches on the mat, including winning her consolation finals bout to earn a chance to wrestleback for State Tournament qualification, but had that opportunity denied when the only wrestler to beat her at the tournament surrendered a forfeit in the championship match to secure second place and the final State-qualifying spot, leaving Kurth in third place as the consolation champion. Donahue’s advancement to the consolation finals included a win by injury default but she traded pinning opportunities in that finals match to end up in fourth place at 105 pounds.
