Emma Truex closed her high school wrestling career in style, winning a fourth straight state championship on Saturday night in Portland.
After rolling through the quarterfinals and semifinals, Truex matched up with Bella Amaro of Scapoose in the 125-pound finals. Truex owned a pair of wins in three previous meetings with Amaro and had a stern test before prevailing with a 4-2 victory.
Bound for Corban University in Salem, Truex won titles the past two seasons since the OSAA officially sanctioned girls' wrestling. She also won as a freshman and sophomore.
Truex was one of six Phoenix wrestlers in the tournament. Joey Baynard won his opening match at 220 pounds on Friday and eventually finished 2-2 in the event.
