Two GBMS wrestlers earn titles
HAYS – Elle Anne Reed and Danice Cline earned Western Athletic Conference wrestling titles for the Great Bend Middle School girls wrestling team. The GBMS girls made history competing in the first girls middle school WAC meet.
Placing runner-up were Allie Gerhardt, Addyson Bruce, Braelyn Turner, Lea Nokes, Paige Sanders, Kaylea McMullen and Reagan Ketch.
The GBMS girls won 28 matches and started out with an 11-6 record.
GBMS coach Bryce Hofmeister has worked hard teaching the girls techniques. This is the first time many of these girls have ever competed.
“Wrestling is a physically demanding sport,” Hofmeister said. “An athlete must be extremely dedicated to be successful. This group of athletes are not afraid to do what is expected. They continually work each move until it becomes habit. Their first meet showed these girls can compete at a high level. ”
Hays Middle School, Liberal Eisenhower, Liberal Seymour Rogers, Dodge City Comanche and Dodge City competed.
