11 Eagle girls earn medals
Krivohlavek finished opening day as coach Layne Laaker's lone undefeated wrestler.
The Eagles senior went 2-0 at 130 pounds, securing two pins in a combined 2:14. A state medalist last season, she won Friday's final match with Emma Glendy of Lakeview in just 1:04.

Beam's teammate, fourth-place Evie Bottger, earned a pin in both wrestlers' last match.
Arlington's Dianna Flores and Ella Chamberlain added second-place individual finishes for their team, too. Flores went 2-1 at 170 pounds, winning two matches by pin before a technical fall loss to Lakeview's Emma Finecy in the finals.
Chamberlain, meanwhile, split her two matches at 145 pounds, earning a sudden overtime victory against Delylla Olson of Fullerton.
The Eagles' Teagan Taylor and Rylie Kyllo both went 3-1 at Lakeview to finish third in their respective weight classes. Taylor won her 170-pound third-place match by pin, while Kyllo earned a 40-second pin during her day at 120 pounds.
Additionally, Callee Shearer (fourth at 130 pounds), Jaydin Allen (fourth at 135), Caitlyn Camp (fifth at 170 and Mya Kitt (sixth at 100) earned top-six individual finishes in Laacker's debut as AHS' girls coach.

Johannes, meanwhile, advanced to the 190-pound finals with back-to-back pins of Raymond Central's Caleb Redstrom and Columbus Scotus' Henry Ramaekers. In the final, though, Shelby-Rising City's Coy Vrbka earned a pin.
