Salinan second at nationals
A local arm wrestler snagged second place in a national arm-wrestling competition Saturday in Phoenix. Marie Gomel, 29, Salina, competed against 10 other woman at the Arizona State Fair in the lightweight division. She said she was pleased to have competed so well. "At first, maybe I was surprised," she said. "But I made it to finals and knew I was doing well." Gomel said she was very close to beating the last woman she wrestled. She said not winning was a bit of a letdown, but she's happy with where she is now because she had never competed at a national competition. "There were a lot of people there," she said. "I had a lot of fun."
