Petaluma's “Fab 5” girls wrestling team gave an excellent account for itself in the California Invitational Tournament.
The tournament is one of the biggest girls tournaments in the state.
Petaluma, with just four healthy wrestlers, finished 29th out of 147 teams. More than 400 girls competed in the tournament.
“We definitely left a purple mark on the mat,” said Petaluma coach Mike Butts.
Petaluma did not have a place finisher, but had two wrestlers reach the quarterfinals.
Bella Pimentel, wrestling sick, still managed a 2-2 record with a pin and a major decision.
Ariela Westlake had a 3-2 record, recording three pins in a row.
Vanessa Stammler had a 2-2 record with both her wins coming on pins. One of her losses was a tough 9-7 decision to Ashley Matthews of Canyon High School.
Dylann Moore compiled a 2-2 record.
