FOR THE ANTIGO TIMES

Antigo Junior Alexandra Hofrichter, currently ranked 7^th in the nation at 152 pounds (teamusa.org rankings), didn’t allow a single opponent to reach the second period, going 6-0 on the day with 5 falls and 1 forfeit competing at the Midwest Mat Of Dreams Girls High School Dual 2021 tournament. The tournament was a dual meet tournament, and Hofrichter represented Team Wisconsin at 155 pounds. The tournament was a modified Folkstyle event, with pushout points and neutral restarts when going out of bounds. A total of 14 teams competed in the event.

After a first round bye, Wisconsin met Grand View in their first match. Hofrichter matched up with Janell Avila. Avila came in hard with an underhook, and Hofrichter worked to an over/under position in the opening seconds. Hofrichter was able to secure a trip off of the over/under position, and 3 nearfall points before Avila was able to escape out of bounds, leading to an early 5-0 lead.

Hofrichter would set up another over/under position at the midpoint of the first round, this time scoring with a lateral throw, and this time Avila would be unable to escape. Hofrichter won the first match via pinfall at 69 seconds. Team Wisconsin defeated Grand View 48-28.

Up next was Team Grit and Grace. Hofrichter faced off with Nicole Olsen. Hofrichter again pushed the pace, securing a takedown off of an armspin and go behind 20 seconds into the match. Hofrichter would secure a cradle, but Olsen was able to fight off her back before the two count 15 seconds later. Hofrichter would again attempt a cradle, and this time, despite a valiant effort by Olsen to get off her back, Hofrichter earned the pinfall victory 67 seconds into the first period. Team Wisconsin won the dual meet 65-6.

Wisconsin defeated Missouri Gold in the next round in a tightly contested matchup that came down to the last match, 38-36. Missouri decided to forfeit to Hofrichter in this match up.

The final round of pool competition saw Wisconsin matching up with the NW Iowa Angry Alpacas. The Angry Alpacas sent Emma Strohman out to face Hofrichter. Hofrichter once again wasted no time, shooting an outside single leg for a takedown 12 seconds into the match. Once on top, Hofrichter went to a far wrist and near side half nelson to earn 3 near fall points at the 48 second mark. Strohman was able to fight off her back, but Hofrichter secured a far elbow and drove her opponent’s shoulders to the mat for the finish by pinfall, once again at 67 seconds. Wisconsin beat the Angry Alpacas 59-18.

Having gone 4-0 in pool play, Team Wisconsin advanced to the Gold Finals. Up first was Potentially Dangerous, and a matchup with Yohaly Quinones for Hofrichter. Hofrichter was able to stop a collar tie attempt by Quinones and convert it into a Russian tie, and then converted the Russian tie into a body lock. From there, Hofrichter secured an outside trip for the takedown at 25 seconds, and earned the victory by pinfall from there at 39 seconds. Wisconsin would lose this dual meet 54-24.

The final match of the day for Wisconsin was Texas Black, and Hofrichter faced Hannah Vos. After some intense handfighting, Hofrichter earned the first point by pushout at 12 seconds. Another series of handfighting led to a Hofrichter takedown at the 27 second mark. Hofrichter then secured a half nelson, and transitioned to a headlock for the pinfall victory at 58 seconds. Wisconsin would defeat Texas 48-30 to earn 2^nd place overall.

Hofrichter and Wisconsin teammate Larissa Kaz were 2 of only 7 individuals to earn the maximum amount of 36 team points over the course of the tournament.
