On Friday, the Duals in the Dells Girls Individual Tournament was held and two Marshfield wrestlers won titles, becoming the first female tournament champions in program history.

Ava Gardner won the 107-pound title, defeating Iszy Sonnentag of Cadott 8-3 in the championship match, and Erika Sleznikow was the 126-pound champ as she won by technical fall over Lydia Hutter of Adams-Friendship 16-0 to claim the title for the Tigers.
