Congratulations on your selection to the 2024 All-North Jersey Girls Wrestling Team
FIRST TEAM
Leeana Mercado
Lodi senior, 107 pounds
What’s better than winning a state title? Winning two to become the first Lodi wrestler to double up and the second in North Jersey girls wrestling. Mercado (21-1) achieved that goal by beating Pennsauken’s Jasintai Mallqui, 5-2, in the final after defending her county and regional crowns earlier this season.
Faustyna Przedworski
Garfield junior, 126 pounds
While the Boilermakers’ first-year wrestler came one win short of advancing to Boardwalk Hall, she still went further in the state tournament than any other North Jersey wrestler at her weight. She went 16-11 on the year and picked up a title at the inaugural BCWCA Showcase.
Edanys Allyha Gomez
Hawthorne junior
Gomez became the first Hawthorne girls wrestler to advance to the state championships and the only Bergen/Passaic qualifier this year at 185. She showed great improvement with a pin in the region third-place match a year after going one-and-done at Vernon High School.
SECOND TEAM
Bree Cooney
Bogota/Ridgefield Park senior, 185 pounds
Tracy Najarro
Manchester junior, 235 pounds
