COLUMBUS — Naomi Gearheart was in panic mode and nobody inside Ohio State’s Schottenstein Center could blame her.

Crestview’s sophomore 145-pounder engineered one of the biggest stunners of the Division III state tournament in her consolation championship match Sunday morning, pinning Poland Seminary’s Abigale Torres-Miller to claim third place.

Torres-Miller led 9-1 with less than a minute remaining in the third period before Gearheart turned the tables.

“She took a bad shot and I just caught her and I stuck it,” Gearheart said. “I was panicking for sure.”

The victory capped a sensational weekend for Gearheart, who finished the season with a 34-5 record.

She pinned her way into the state semifinals before falling to Greeneview’s Eve Matt on Saturday. Gearheart responded with two wins Sunday morning.

“Even if I hadn’t won that last match I’m still proud of myself from where I’ve come,” Gearheart said.

She had off-season knee surgery after placing fifth at 155 as a freshman.

“It’s a testament to her and her character,” Crestview coach Nate Godsey said. “Naomi said she caught the girl, but I say she put herself in a position to make that happen.

“That girl may have been winning, but Naomi kept battling and took advantage of her bad shot and that’s what good wrestlers do.”

Ashland 126-pounder Mason Bauer matched Gearheart with a third-place finish at 126-pounds in the Division I tournament.

The sophomore, who finished fourth at the Perrysburg district, reached the state semifinals before falling to two-time defending state champ Karson Brown of Lakewood St. Edward on Saturday.

Bauer bounced back with two wins Sunday morning. He beat Massillon Perry’s Emeric McBurney 1-0 in the consolation semifinals and knocked off Cincinnati Elder’s Konner Lambers 4-1 in overtime in the consolation finals.

Both McBurney, who Bauer beat in the opening round, and Lambers were district champs.

“It was a huge confidence-builder,” said Bauer, who placed fifth at 106 as a freshman. “I believed in myself and I knew what I could do.

“It’s a reflection of how hard we train at Ashland. We try to be the best version of ourselves every day.”

Teammate Guardian Miller finished fourth at 144, falling to Perrysburg’s Kaden Soto 9-2 in a third-place match that was closer than the final score indicated.

Miller lost his opening-round match Friday before reeling off four straight consolation-bracket victories.

“It says a lot about him,” Bauer said of his longtime friend and classmate. “We’ve trained together since we were 5 years old. This is who we are.”
