2011 Womens Freestyle Preview

Past 5 years All-Americans

Small but mighty will be the motto for the women going to Fargo from Indiana this year.  This year's team is one of the best assembled and will look to continue the success of the past few years.  There is no clear single headliner in this group, but instead a three-headed monster we shall call Kay-Sar-Dem!  Kayla Miracle in her first season of IHSAA action only suffered two losses and made it to semi-state.  After the state series ended she went out and has done extremely well on the national level.  She recently placed first at the Guelph Open in Canada and has already won a FILA Cadet freestyle title this spring.  Last year saw the first ever Indiana girls to wrestle under the spotlights at Fargo, but both came home just short of their goals.  However, both will return this year to erase the memories of last year.  Demi Strub has had a great spring after finishing 2nd at Fargo last year.  She got 2nd at FILA Juniors, 2nd at the Junior Pan-Ams and won a Junior Folkstyle National Title.  The pride of Granger, Sarah Hildebrandt, is no stranger to success against boys or girls.  The two-time semi-state qualifier placed 2nd last year at Fargo and also placed 5th at the Sunkist Open and 1st at the FILA Cadet Nationals.  Gibby Paxton will be making her first trip to Fargo after placing 4th at the USGWA Folkstyle Nationals this past season.
