Maine girl records 100th wrestling win
PORTLAND — Marshwood High School’s Deanna Rix became the first female interscholastic wrestler in Maine to reach the 100 career wins Thursday night when she defeated Noble’s Heath DeVoll 5-2 in the 130-pound weight class.
“Im proud of this as a dad, “said Rix’s father, Matt, the wrestling coach at Marshwood. “Probably because it’s never been done before. It was nice to see the hard work, dedication and determination pay off for her.”
Her 100th career win was also her 22nd of the season. She’s 16-0 at 130 and 6-1 at 135. In the win over DeVoll, Rix took a 2-1 lead after the first period on a two-point takedown, then recorded a one-point escape and a two-point takedown in the second.
Rix will attend Northern Michigan University on a full scholarship for wrestling in the fall.
