ONONDAGA - Even at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Invitational, there just isn't anyone who came close to beating Maddie Westerberg.
The Waterloo sophomore took to the mats at Onondaga Community College for the inaugural NYSPHSAA Girls Wrestling Invitational and steamrolled her weight class to make history as the first 145-pound champion in the NYSPHSAA Invitational.
Westerberg - alongside several Section V and area wrestlers, including teammate Natalie Berrios - began her day with a 31-second pin over Maria Mach of Riverhead. The quarterfinal went even quicker as it took Westerberg just 29 seconds to pin Oneonta?s Maia Woertendyke.
