HARRIS — Like sister, like brother.

The wrestling season is winding down for Madalyn and Mitch Corrigan, who are already well into their individual championship pursuits.

Madalyn, a senior, wrestles for Powers North Central, and Mitch is a sophomore grappler at Bark River-Harris.

Despite the rivalry, the two siblings cheer for and support each other.

“We try to motivate each other,” Madalyn said. “I tell him, ‘You can do the same and more.’ If he’s in a good mood, he does the same for me.”

Madalyn earned her 100^th career victory by pinning her Norway opponent 86 seconds into the 113-pound match during last week’s Division 4 Team District Final at Bark River-Harris.

Her victory also helped the Jets earn their first District title with a 36-30 triumph over the Knights.

“This is pretty exciting,” she said. “This wasn’t a goal I had in mind, but it means a lot. We’re only in our second year. None of us thought this would be possible so soon. I was depending on my teammates to make weight and win the first match so I could get my 100^th. I had 14 victories after my freshman year. It never entered my mind that I would reach 100.”

The Jets also topped BR-H 36-30 in last Thursday’s opener, and Norway edged Iron Mountain 36-35 to advance.

“I knew Maddy really wanted it,” Mitch Corrigan said. “She looked real happy, and I was pretty happy for her. There’s lot of competitiveness at home. Although, I wanted to see her do well even when they wrestled against us.”

Mitch won his match as well, taking a 13-9 decision at 215 pounds.

“One of our kids had to stop wrestling due to family issues,” he said. “I got bumped up a weight class and made sure to keep my hips back. This has been a big learning experience.”

Maddy Corrigan needed just 44 seconds to win by pin in a 120-pound match during the District Semifinal.

“I had a lot of motivation coming into this meet,” she said. “When I put my first foot on the mat, I told myself, ‘All you got.’ I left everything on the mat.”

Mitch Corrigan said he had high hopes going into Saturday’s Individual District at Manistique, where he reached the championship match and dropped a 15-12 decision to Charlevoix sophomore Ryan Glass at 190 but still advanced to this Saturday’s Individual Regional at Charlevoix.

“Maddy and I will be following each other the rest of the way,” Mitch said.

Maddy Corrigan also took runner-up honors in her Individual District at Gaylord, dropping a 4-3 decision to Frankfort junior Isabella Compton in the 115-pound title bout.

North Central’s team run ended Wednesday in Team Regional competition. But she will compete in the Individual Regional on Sunday at Cadillac.

The Individual Finals are set for Feb. 28-March 1 at Ford Field in Detroit.
