Toppenish Girls Just Ran Washington Wrestling and Nobody's Ready For What's Next!

Holy smokes, did you guys catch the absolute fireworks exploding out of the Tacoma Dome? Mat Classic XXXVII went down on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, and let me tell you, if you weren't watching, you MISSED IT! We're talking about some serious local talent throwing down, making history, and basically owning the mat. It was pure chaos, pure triumph, and a whole lot of heart from Washington's best.

Toppenish Girls Are Unstoppable: Five-Peat!

Can we just take a second for the Toppenish girls? Seriously, they just put on a clinic. Adalyne Montiel, a LEGEND in the making, snatched her fourth individual title, which is just insane to even think about! And as if that wasn't enough, her program grabbed their fifth straight team title. Fifth straight! That's not just a win, that's a DYNASTY. Montiel celebrated in the Tacoma Dome, and you know that felt different than expected. It’s a testament to consistency and grit, a level of dominance that you just don't see every day. They’re built different, that Toppenish squad!

Wapato, Granger, and Zuniga Make Waves in the Boys' Divisions

But wait, there's more! The boys' side was just as wild. Wapato’s boys, built from the bottom up, leaned on their depth to defend their 1A team title, proving that consistent effort pays off big time. Zillah was right there, runner-up again in 1A, but they still flexed with three individual winners. Over in 2B, Granger boys didn't just show up, they narrowly snatched the team title with a pair of individual champions. And you gotta give it up for Toppenish's Justyce Zuniga, who grabbed his fourth individual title, leading his team to a second-place 2A finish. Watching Zuniga, with his fast pace, slow down in the final minute Saturday, after a career built around dominance, was a moment. And don't forget the Granger girls, who fought hard for a runner-up finish in 1A/2B thanks to a trio of winners: Gabrielle Berger with a repeat title, Sonia Mendoza finally getting the title she chased for four years, and freshman Vanessa Torres starting her bid for what could be the rarest prize of all. These kids are bringing it, representing our state with everything they've got!

So, there you have it, folks. Mat Classic XXXVII delivered. The Tacoma Dome was buzzing with future stars. These athletes, these teams, they put everything on the line, and they delivered. What an absolutely wild weekend for Washington wrestling. We can't wait to see what these athletes bring next season!
