Sadie Antoque doesn’t know it, but she just might be following a path from the past.

The Castle junior shocked top-seeded Tayler Peligrino-Hayase of Lahainaluna in a 3-1 decision during the quarterfinal round of the 145 weight class at the Texaco/HHSAA Girls Wrestling State Championships on Wednesday at Blaisdell Arena.

Antoque, runner-up from the Oahu Interscholastic Association, will face Jennifer Tongi of Kahuku in a matchup of unseeded wrestlers in today’s semifinal round. The only seeded wrestler left in the 145 division is No. 2 Tiare Carlson of Waianae, who will meet Tyeisha Takamori of Baldwin. Takamori ousted No. 3 Precious Brown of Kamehameha 4-2.

Antoque had never faced Peligrino-Hayase before. She went ahead, 2-1 in the second period, with an ankle pick and held on for the biggest upset of the quarterfinals.

“My plan was to have faith in myself, try not to do crazy moves. I tried to do basic moves,” said Antoque, who fell in last year’s 145 final to Jahnea Miguel of Baldwin. “I felt her out and made sure she couldn’t throw me.”

Getting thrown was something that happened much more to her last year. Antoque is not a judo player, so it took an emphasis on that particular part of her defensive skills to move to another level.

“There was a girl who used to throw me a lot,” Antoque recalled of Moanalua’s Faith Joy Okubo, who is in the semifinals of the 132-pound weight class today. “She would always do that judo throw. I asked my coaches how to defend it.”

Assistant coach Harvey Fung worked with Antoque, who later defeated Okubo at the 2018 state tourney. The momentum hasn’t stopped since then. Antoque’s route is becoming similar to the one taken by Rysan Leong of Kalaheo, who was an OIA runner-up in the boys 160 weight class a year ago. He went on to upset three seeded wrestlers and captured the state title.

Leilehua senior Kelani Corbett, No. 1 overall in the Hawaii Prep World pound-for-pound rankings, made quick work of her foes on day one. Corbett is a three-time state champion at 155 pounds, and is competing at 168 this season.

She pinned Mele Pamela Lua of Castle at 1:12 in the first period.

“I used an overhook throw,” Corbett said. “I learned it in judo.”

Earlier, Corbett pinned Grace Tanuvasa of Waipahu in 3:13. Corbett’s style doesn’t put a big value on winning by fall, but the opportunities were there.

“My dad (coach Kevin Michael Corbett) told me not force it. She was trying to force it, so don’t force it back. Be patient and let it happen when it’s meant to happen,” she said. “At states, it’s a kind of a rush and you want to go out there and finish the match, go on to the next match and not leave anything to chance. You want to finish fast.”

The technical part of her approach always reigns.

“I’m not super aggressive. In a lot of matches, I get questions a lot about how am I so calm. It’s just I wait and I’m patient. When I need to be aggressive, it’s just knowing the balance of when to have constant pressure,” Corbett said.

The quest for a slam, four state crowns, is in full force.

“I’m just taking it one match at a time. I’ve got one more match before I even make finals. I don’t think it’ll sink in until before my last match. It’s going to be bittersweet,” she said.

Her brothers and sisters, Corbett added, are together for the first time since 2014 to see her final high school performance. They stretch from Oahu to the Big Island to Arkansas, where brother Kevin is the head coach at Lyon College.

“We’re kind of spread out. It’s fun and I’m grateful they’re all here for, hopefully, my fourth (title),” Corbett said.

Lahainaluna’s Nanea Estrella, the top seed in the 127-pound weight class, won by fall in 1:38 over Kira Borengasser of Moanalua in the quarterfinals.

“I had a ball and chain, and I stacked her,” the junior said.

Estrella battled cousin Waipuilani Estrella Beauchamp of Baldwin through the MIL season. Estrella Beauchamp won the league’s 132-pound title and is in the 132 semifinals at states.

“What’s made me better is wrestling with my cousin. We’re really, really close off the mat, but when we’re on the mat, we hit the switch and it’s like we’re brutal competitors,” said Estrella, who captured the MIL 127 title, her third league crown.

Estrella will meet unseeded Kuuipo Chan of Kamehameha-Hawaii in the 127 semifinals. Emily Paulino, the OIA champion and No. 3 seed, will meet No. 2 Skye Realin of Kamehameha in the other semi.

Estrella Beauchamp, No. 3 in the P4P rankings, outpointed Chanel Hunter of Pearl City 13-1 to advance into the semifinals. She will meet KS-Hawaii’s Kanani Chan, twin sister of Kuuipo Chan. Prior to this year’s state tourney, Kanani Chan had lost all six of her state-tourney matches.

“It’s about the mind-set. Coming from the Big Island, there’s not as much big competition. Our coach has been telling us all season, ‘It’s about mind-set.’ Once you win up here,” she said, pointing to her temple, “you’ll win on the mat. In the past, I’ve been doubting myself.”

In this year’s 132-pound division, Chan defeated Phoebe Pineda Abaya of Kalani by decision, 9-3, before toppling No. 4 seed Ini Marshall of Kapaa, 10-5.

Kamehameha’s two-time state champion, Ashley Gooman, the top seed at 122, pinned Keisha Domingo of Waipahu (38 seconds) and defeated Katie Reyes of Waianae by decision, 9-2, to reach the semifinals. Gooman will battle No. 4 seed Tehya Caceres of KS-Hawaii.
