A Streams Elementary School played a key role in Team Pennsylvania’s victory at the Girls Mason-Dixon All-Star Duals on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2026, in Pasadena, Maryland.
Fourth grader Maya Bhandari competed in the 57-pound weight class as part of Pennsylvania’s 13-member roster, which was selected by Pennsylvania USA Wrestling, the state’s governing affiliate of USA Wrestling.
The Pennsylvania team faced top competition from Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia. Maya recorded two wins and one loss in the tournament.
In just her third year of wrestling, Maya has already built an impressive resume. Last spring, she captured first place at the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling (PJW) State Championships, earning the title in the 8U 51-pound Girls Division. She also placed second in the Girls 7–8 50-pound Division at the Keystone State Championships.
