A freshman from San Diego, California, who made her collegiate wrestling debut at the Waldorf Open in November, Jones has enjoyed a strong first season, compiling a 16-5 record to date on the mats.
That strong debut season includes a 5-1 effort in the month of December as Jones picked up a win by pin in 1 minute, 44 seconds in the Beavers dual at No. 10 Fort Hays State on December 5, then she finished 3rd in the 124-pound weight class at the Bob Smith Open hosted by Fort Hays State on December 6.
After scoring one of just two wins for Minot State in the dual Friday, Jones came out strong in Saturday’s open tournament with back-to-back technical fall victories, earning a spot in the semifinals against Fort Hays State’s Morgan Maschmann.
Maschmann handed Jones her lone setback of the month, but the Beaver freshman bounced back strong with a pair of consolation wins to claim third place, the top finish for Minot State’s team in the tournament.
