FCIAC wins three championships, 10 wrestlers medal in CIAC girls tournament

The FCIAC had three individual champions and 10 medalists at the third CIAC Girls Wrestling Tournament Saturday in New Haven.

The champions were senior Samantha Yap of Stamford at 107 pounds, sophomore Calli Gilchrist of Brien McMahon at 114, and freshman Marangelie Teixeira of Trumbull at 165.

For Yap, it was her third championship in as many tournaments. She won as a freshman, junior and senior, and there was no tournament in 2021 due to the pandemic.

Gilchrist has won state championships in each of her first two high school seasons.

All three FCIAC champs won via pinfalls. Yap pinned Karla Flores of Montville in 1:54; Gilchrist pinned Hoshena Gemme of Old Lyme in 5:33; and Teixeira pinned Kaydence Atkinson of New Britain in 2:34.
