The Star Valley Lady Braves put the finishing touches on a historic inaugural season as more than 220 high school girls from 43 school competed in the Wyoming State Championships. Star Valley compiled ten placers which included a pair of finalists in Veil Foreman and Cara Andrews. Foreman won the 135-pound championship to cap off an undefeated season with a first period pin of Lovell’s Danika Crumrine.
Andrews was in a battle with junior Meadow King from Cheyenne Central and battled until the end in a late pin in the third period.
Foreman is a sophomore and Andrews is a freshman.
The biggest advantage Star Valley had over the field was their depth with so many deciding to be part of the wrestling season. This was on full display as the Lady Braves faced each other for third and fourth at 110 pounds and 115 pounds. Hallie Robertson and Paisley Smith won against teammates Keston Johnson and Alexis Angell respectively.
Samantha Walker (140) and Shaely Kunz (170) also placed third.
