First Girls Wrestling “State Placer” for SME!
Congratulations to Senior, Sylvia Mohrsting on being the first girls Wrestling State placer in SCHOOL HISTORY (5th place). Sylvia started wrestling as a freshman. Her courage to step into a room full of boys and commit to the process is unprecedented and has paved the way for others to follow. In her words, no sport has given me the confidence like the sport of wrestling.
Congrats to Sylvia on a great wrestling career.
