ACKLEY – Ali Gerbracht wanted to make sure she earned her 100th victory on the wrestling mats.
"I didn't want it to be a forfeit," Gerbracht said. "That would've been lame."
The AGWSR senior got her wish, pinning Hudson's Brody King in 23 seconds for win number 100 as part of an AGWSR triangular with Hudson and Dike-New Hartford on Thursday.

Hudson won the dual, 42-29. Dike-New Hartford won twice, 57-24 against AGWSR and 37-36 against Hudson.
Gerbracht, wrestling at 106 pounds, becomes the second female in Iowa history to reach 100 wins, following South Winneshiek's Felicity Taylor who hit the mark in 2018. Taylor is currently wrestling for McKendree University's women's wrestling team in Lebanon, Illinois.
"She's definitely someone to look up to, to try to follow in her footsteps," Gerbracht said. "She made a lot of impact and I hope to keep following that."
