She did it! We did it! What an amazing year. Okay, actually, no. This season was awful. It was so hard. So hard. So many injuries, illnesses, issues. We traveled so much. It was exhausting. But it paid off! Libby is the first female state champion from Shorewood. We are so proud of her! And she did it with a ruptured UCL in her right arm. (We are seeing the surgeon today.)
She looked strong and confident on the mat. She ended up on her back in her finals match, but powered back and pinned the girl before the end of the 2nd period. It was so exhilarating.
It feels pretty surreal. I prayed really hard for her to have the miracle she needed this year (especially after her injury). This was beautiful. In looking at the other winners in other classifications/weights she wrestled this year, her losses were to other state champs and finalists. She really did so well this year. This win sets her up well to wrestle in college. I'm so looking forward to it! I'm not done watching her wrestle.
