The Lady Eagles had 165 1/2 points, coming in behind Lubbock Cooper for the team crown in the field. Keller Fossil Ridge was third with 118 points to take home a trophy, while Kayla Nguyen got an award for the most pins in the least amount of times — getting 7 falls in 11:27.

Sebert also beat ranked wrestlers in El Paso Pebble Hills’ Genesis Montez-Suraez (No. 12) and Keller Central’s Echo Cranor (No. 13).
