Kelani Corbett’s dominance in women’s wrestling continues at the next level.
A four-time state wrestling champion at Leilehua, Corbett, now a junior at Lyon College in Arkansas, won the 191-pound title in the York College Women’s Open in York, Neb., on Saturday.
Corbett scored a 12-2 tech fall in the final to complete a dominant performance in the tournament.
A day after winning Lyon’s only match against Menlo College in the finals of the New York Duals, Corbett continued her success with four straight wins by technical fall.
It was her first competition for the Fighting Scots since participating in the Patriot Duals in early December.
Corbett began her junior season in November at the Missouri Valley Open, where she blew through the competition to take first place at 235 pounds.
Corbett won her opening match by pinfall in just 27 seconds and then scored dominant 12-0 and 10-0 tech fall victories to win the division.
Corbett is 6-1 this season after going 6-2 as a sophomore and finishing second at the Sooner Athletic Conference championships.
As a freshman, Corbett went 16-4, winning both the SAC championship at 170 pounds and the Wayland Baptist Invitational.
Corbett wasn’t the only winner from Hawaii over the weekend.
Menlo (Calif.) sophomore Nanea Estrella, who won four state titles at Lahainaluna from 2017 to ’20, went undefeated to win the 130-pound bracket at the York College Women’s Open in her season debut.
Estrella pinned her way to the final, where she wrestled Lexi Basham, the No. 1-ranked wrestler at 130 pounds in the NAIA.
Estrella scored a late takedown to win 5-3 and earn her first tournament championship as a member of the Menlo wrestling team.
Her teammate, junior Alana Vivas (Kamehameha ’19), won the 123-pound title in the tournament, scoring an 8-1 victory in the final.
Menlo junior Tianna Fernandez, a 2019 Baldwin alumna, placed fourth at 101 pounds.
