Fargo finalists Sarah Henckel and Mary Manis turned in sparkling performances Friday while capturing titles at the inaugural Girls Beast of the East. 

Henckel, ranked seventh nationally at 144, cruised to the 167-pound title. The Fargo 16U champion registered two first-period pins and a technical fall in her three matches. One of her pins came against Taylor Waddy, who’s ranked 22nd nationally at 180 pounds.
