HANFORD – Rolling to a perfect 5-0 record, including three pins and two major decisions, GHS junior Jasmine Yanez wrestled her way to a state championship at the California Girls Invitational held in Hanford over the weekend.
Yanez, the No. 1-seed, worked through a field of 36 wrestlers in the 98-pound bracket, leaving little doubt as to who was champion after a 10-1 win in the finals over Marina Sanchez of La Sierra High School.
The tournament serves as the state championship for girls wrestling because the sport is not yet sanctioned by the CIF.
The state championship is just one of a handful of tournament accomplishments for Yanez this season.
She placed second at the Lady Lancer in Manteca, third at the Queen of the Mat in Antioch and dazzled at the CIF NorCal Regional, taking first, which qualified her for last weekend’s state meet.
Yanez also finished in the top-12 at this year’s Mid-Cals, wrestling in the 103-pound division.
Jasmine took 3rd at nationals this past weekend earning her the title of “All American”
Additionally… on Sunday Jasmine wrestled for the California all star team against the Texas All Star team. The girl that took 1st at her weight class 109 lbs was on the Texas team. Jasmine dominated the match winning 5-0
Thank you to Andres for doing a amazing job coaching Jasmine to a national title.
Congrats Jasmine!
