KENDRA HURLA, Rossville
A returning state champion, the Bulldawgs' star 120-pound wrestler improved to a perfect 35-0 record on the 2021-2022 season en route to an individual championship in last Saturday's Class 4A-1A girls regional tournament at Baldwin.
After a first-round bye, Hurla recorded three straight wins by pin -- in 1 minute, 51 seconds, 31 seconds and 1:28 over Holton's Macey Gross in the championship match to punch her ticket to the state tournament at Salina.
Hurla is currently ranked No. 1 at 120 pounds by the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association.
