Adalyne Montiel's Historic Quadruple and Washington State Won't Forget Mat Classic XXXVII
Tacoma Dome was absolutely buzzing this past Saturday, February 21, 2026, for Mat Classic XXXVII! If you weren't tuned in, you missed some incredible action on the mats. The Toppenish girls, led by an absolute legend, Adalyne Montiel, absolutely crushed it, securing their FIFTH straight team championship! And Montiel herself? She snagged her fourth individual title. Yeah, you read that right. Four titles, for real.
Toppenish Girls: A Dynasty Unmatched in Washington Wrestling
Seriously, what Toppenish has built is absolutely unreal. Adalyne Montiel's fourth individual title? That's the stuff of legends, you know? She mentioned it felt 'different than expected' for her, but man, what a way to cap off a career, helping her program lock down that five-peat! That kind of sustained excellence, year after year, it doesn't simply happen. It's heart, hustle, and a whole lot of grit from every single athlete on that team. They are setting a standard that is gonna be tough to beat across the state. Absolute champions.

More Valley Champs and Future Stars Shine Bright for Washington
But the Toppenish girls weren't the only ones lighting up the Tacoma Dome! The Wapato boys leaned on their incredible depth and successfully defended their 1A team title. Talk about building a program from the ground up, they showed everyone exactly how it's done! And you gotta give massive props to Zillah, who were runner-up again in 1A, but still brought home three individual winners. That's some serious, undeniable talent right there.
Over in the 2B division, the Granger boys were absolutely dialed in. They claimed a pair of individual titles and, let's be real, snatched that 2B team championship in a super close finish. You love to see it! And the Toppenish boys, not to be outdone, finished second in 2A, thanks in part to Justyce Zuniga's own incredible fourth individual title. Think about that: two four-time champs from the same school in one tournament! Unreal, right?
The Granger girls also had a killer showing, finishing as the 1A/2B runner-up. Their trio of winners absolutely brought the house down: Gabrielle Berger with a clutch repeat title, Sonia Mendoza finally getting the championship she'd been chasing for four long years, and freshman Vanessa Torres kicking off her career with a title, potentially on a path to something truly special herself. The future is looking incredibly bright for these programs, for sure.
Man, what a weekend of wrestling. This isn't just about high school sports, folks, this is about passion, dedication, and pushing limits. Whether you bleed green and blue for our teams hitting the field or court, you gotta appreciate the pure athletic fire we saw at Mat Classic XXXVII. These young athletes, they represent the best of Washington. Keep an eye on these names, because true champions don't stop here. What's at stake? The continued legacy of Washington's toughest athletes! Until then, stay loud, Seattle!
