Woody completes Fargo sweep

Arundel High School graduate Nicole Woody won her fourth straight U.S. Junior Women's Freestyle National title this weekend in Fargo, N.D., defeating Amy Whitbeck of New York in the finals of the 102 pound class, 2-0, 8-1.
Woody, who became the first female wrestler in U.S. history to win four straight titles at Fargo, was named outstanding female wrestler for the second straight year.

The Oklahoma City University-bound Odenton resident did not lose a period in the event, outscoring opponents by a combined 12-3 margin in the first period and a dominating 24-3 in the second period. Woody, who also won a match by technical fall and another by pin in her 7-0 showing, never went the full three rounds in the tournament.

Woody, who is remaining in Fargo for the men's freestyle nationals, could not be reached for comment.
