Foster, who battled her way through the tough competition in the 185-pound weight division, made history by being one of the first Suffolk County girls wrestling champions ever. With the win, she earned a ticket to the New York State championships\u00a0on Feb. 27\u00a0at MVP Arena in Albany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Miiko Foster wins the finals match Monday, Feb. 10\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cmEbaU7HhhQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Credit: Michael Hejmej)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was an incredible performance from the 15-year-old, who was actually considering quitting midway through the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWrestling is hard,\u201d Foster said. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of hard work. Any wrestler will tell you the same. You need to have the will to push forward and the motivation to want to be great. There\u2019s so much that goes into it and confidence is a big part of it. I didn\u2019t have the confidence I have today at the beginning of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nerves were kicking in for Foster as she moved up in the bracket, only to find that in order to win, she would have to defeat two of her Bellport teammates \u2014 Gabby Barret and then Kyleigh Kershner \u2014 in the final. To go against an opponent you\u2019ve never wrestled is one thing, but having to beat your teammate brings another world of emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI told both of the girls that, yeah, you\u2019re friends now, but when you shake each other&#8217;s hand before the match that all has to go away,\u201d Bellport\/Riverhead co-head coach Edwin Perry said. \u201cOnce it\u2019s over you can go back to being friends but you have to put all that aside for those six minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After battling Barret neck and neck in the semifinals for the whole first period, with neither girl scoring many points, Foster finally came up with a crucial takedown and earned the pin after\u00a01:23\u00a0into the second period. It would solidify her spot in the finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was familiar territory for Foster, who won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/liwomenswrestling\/p\/DFTl5blxWdZ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steven Mally Tournament<\/a> at the end of January. The stage was bigger but the execution and thought process were the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s been wrestling better and better ever time we see her,\u201d Perry said, all business, rocking a full suit on the sidelines. \u201cI told all our girls that this is your time to shine and put on your best performance. We saw one of Miiko&#8217;s best performances last tournament, beating a bunch of quality girls, so I knew she had a chance today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Foster warmed up for the finals, her teammate Kershner was right by her side, keeping the vibes high. There was no animosity between the two. The better wrestler would win and that was that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWrestling against one of my best friends on the team definitely does hurt,\u201d Foster said. \u201cEspecially someone I learned so much from. It\u2019s an emotional moment. But Coach Perry really pumped me up before the match, and I felt like I had a good shot to win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also a little added motivation from her parents before the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey said if I win states I\u2019d get a puppy,\u201d Foster said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie, I really want that puppy. It was definitely one of the motivating factors today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a tightly contested first minute with Kershner, Foster caught her opponent in a disadvantageous position and threw her down to the ground, earning a pin with a minute left on the clock. She was suddenly all alone with no one else to beat. She was a champion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on the other parts of her game,\u201d Perry said. \u201cShe loves to headlock but to win you can\u2019t be one-dimensional. I think with the two pins today you saw what she is capable of doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the tournament, the announcers kept pronouncing Miiko\u2019s name as \u201cMike-o\u201d so before the podium winners were announced, her coaches and family made sure they would pronounce her name correctly as \u201cMe-ko.\u201d Safe to say they\u2019ll know her name going forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted to get known,\u201d Foster said. \u201cI wanted to get my name on the wall. I wanted to make Riverhead proud. I think I did that. Now I just want that puppy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the inaugural Suffolk County individual girls wrestling championships, Riverhead freshman Miiko Foster took an unprecedented leap to stardom under the bright lights at Comsewogue High School&nbsp;Monday night.&nbsp; The snow pushed the event back one day but Miiko Foster would not be stopped in reaching her goals.
