Our season for the girls has come to a close. We had a wonderful state tournament and as a team finished in 6th place, once again a few points shy of coming home with a team trophy. Being able to challenge for a team trophy with just four wrestlers is a testament to the quality of wrestlers we brought to the tournament.

While we did not have some matches end the way we had hoped, we are still so incredibly proud of our girls and what they have accomplished.

Sophomore Natalie Dillion went 1-2 and we look forward to what she is capable of for next season.

Junior Trinity Butler, is now a 3x State Qualifier and brought home another 6th place medal.

Senior Addison Cupp finished with a 2nd place medal. She has put together a phenomenal senior campaign ended with a 37-5 record and over 120 career wins. She is a 4x state qualifier, 2x state medalist. She was the conference wrestler of the year, made the Wonder Woman finals, won a district title, earned outstanding wrestler at Rockwood Summit and had many other amazing milestones. We couldn’t be more proud of her dedication and success she has brought to the program.

Senior Dani Gullet also finished with a 2nd place medal. She finished her senior year with a 39-7 record and over 140 career wins. She is a 4x state qualifier and a 3x state medalist. She has won two district titles, brought home two Wonder Woman top 6 finishes and many tournament gold medals to boot. We are so proud of her and her accomplishments.

Thank you to our seniors who have been a foundation to the rising success of our girls program and we are so thankful to have had them lead our girls team.
