DeAragon weighed in at 82 pounds and wrestled in the Middle School Division. She won her first match with a first round pin, her second in a 15-2 major decision, and her third by pin in just19 seconds. She went on the same day to wrestle in the Stars and Stripes Invitational Tournament, which was both boys and girls. She won her first match with a pin by a figure four butterfly with her legs only in the first round. She won her second match 12-11 and then lost 12-4 to the Montana state champion, taking second place in the tournament.

The girls begin a busy stretch of tournaments, wrestling in Boise this weekend, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, on March 1, Vallejo, Calif., on March 2, Ridgefield, Wash., on March 8, and Portland, Ore., on March 9.
