CHSAA’s four-peat club underwent another historic expansion Saturday night at Ball Arena.
Persaeus Gomez, Pomona, celebrates her victory over Kate Doughty, Canon City, winning the 130-pound final becoming the first Colorado girls four-time state champion during the Colorado high school state tournament at Ball Arena in Denver on Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024.
But over the last couple decades, high school coaches say the explosive growth of youth wrestling has made the “overall level of wrestling continue to come up in Colorado,” as Cherokee Trail’s Jeff Buck pointed out. “These four-timers have put in the work going back to childhood, they’re winning the matches, they’re dealing with the pressure, especially as a senior,” Smith said. “I think it’s good for the sport.”
“ came out pretty hot, and I just wanted to try to match his intensity,” said O’Blia, who will wrestle at Princeton. “I’ve pictured that since I won my first one as a freshman.” As Garza-Alarcon celebrated with his mom, Angelina, and did a back flip to celebrate his 6-1 win, the fans roared with another standing ovation. Garza-Alarcon plans to wrestle in junior college somewhere after graduation.Following Garza-Alarcon’s triumph, Drury also foiled a four-peat, denying Rairdon his place in history in the Class 4A 144-pound championship. Drury controlled the match from start to finish in an impressive 8-4, wire-to-wire win where Rairdon’s only points came by escapes.
When Gomez won, cruising by Canyon City sophomore Kate Doughty with a first-period pin, the Oklahoma State pledge jumped into the arms of her dad and coach, Victor Gomez. “Knowing that I can be a person that girls can look up to is awesome. … Growing up I didn’t have the support in this sport as much. I was constantly told I shouldn’t wrestle, and that it’s a boy’s sport, and that I should go dance or do something else. Being a trailblazer now myself, it’s pretty cool, knowing that little girls now look up to me with goals as big as mine.”
