Ames places two at IGHSAUs, Alexis Winkey sets program’s high-water mark

Senior Alexis Winkey and Sophomore Lexa Rozevink both repeated as placewinners at the IGHSAU Championships on Thursday and Friday. At Xtream Arena in Coralville, Lexa Rozevink capped off a terrific sophomore campaign by placing eighth at 120. Rozevink finished fifth at 120 a year earlier and has an opportunity to expand her mark in the upcoming two years.

Winkey finished sixth at 125 and graduates from the Little Cyclone program with 93 all-time victories. A four-year letterwinner and pioneer of the sport in Iowa, Winkey recorded pins in 84 of those 93 victories. That win record will stand as the program-best for at least a year. Rozevink is currently holds 71 wins, but will have two more years to target the 93-win mark and beyond.

Senior Allison Metschke repeated as a state qualifier and earned three team points, as did state tournament newcomer Lauryn Metcalf. The Little Cyclones finished 26th overall in the 160-team tournament.
