Olivia Crosby pinned her way to the top!

Laurel's eighth-ranked junior Olivia Crosby pinned all three of her 100-pound female opponents before a home crowd to win a Class 4A-3A West Regional crown in Spartans' gymnasium on Saturday.

Crosby scored falls in 1:56, 2:25 and in 36 seconds, the latter in her championship match with Bethesda-Chevy Chase's ninth-ranked sophomore Sosan Rasikh, who won her semifinal by 10-3 decision over Wheaton's 10th-ranked sophomore Maya Zapryanova.

Competing with the girls last season, Crosby placed third in the regions and lost two of three bouts at the girls' state tournament. She will attempt to improve on that effort as that event which is being held Thursday through Saturday at The Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro.

In doing so, Crosby became Maryland's first female wrestler to win both a girl’s regional title as well as a county championship against males during the same season, improving her record on the year of 37-3 with five of her 21 pins having come against males.

"My matches were super-fast," said Crosby, who carries a 3.7 grade-point average. "After winning regionals, I feel as if my performances can only get better."

Crosby was a week removed from having become the first female to win a Prince George's County title against boys, and only the third Maryland girl to win a county championship opposite a male high school opponent.

Crosby won her boys tournament county semifinal bout by disqualification over Amari Points of Henry Wise to reach the finals against Powell, joining Arundel’s Nicole Woody and South River’s Alexandra Szkotnicki as the only other Maryland females to win county titles against male counterparts.

In addition, Crosby, became the state's first African-American female to win a county championship, doing so with a 23-10 major decision victory in her 106-pound title match against C.H. Flowers freshman Daemon Powell at Oxon Hill High School.

Crosby began wrestling as an 8-year-old in Colorado for a program called, "Betterman Elite." After stepping away for two years, Crosby re-engaged in wrestling as a sophomore.

The Spartans are coached by Devon Daniels and assistant Marcus Jackson, who said Crosby elected to compete against boys even as the county simultaneously held its inaugural girl’s county tournament.

"I'm so excited," Crosby said. "The better the competition, the better I hope to wrestle in my matches."

In 2007, a 103-pound Woody made history as a senior by becoming Maryland’s first girl to win an Anne Arundel County and regional title and to finish as a Class 4A-3A state runner-up.

Woody pinned South River’s Curtis Taylor in five minutes, 42 seconds for the county title and blanked Centennial’s Jack Western 2-0 in the finals of the Class 4A-3A regionals on a reversal with 1:01 left in the third period.

Szkotnicki was a senior in 2022 when she became the second-most accomplished female wrestler since Woody by placing fourth at 113 pounds while wrestling against public school boys at the Class 4A-3A state tournament.

Szkotnicki went 3-2 at states, including victories by pins in 21 and 73 seconds and by an 11-1 major decision. Her effort came two weeks after defeating Broadneck sophomore Cam Williams, 1-0, to become only the second female since Woody to win an Anne Arundel County title, and a week after having placed third at the Class 4A-3A East Region Tournament.
