It was a perfect weekend for the Waverly-Shell Rock girls wrestling team. The girls won their 4th consecutive State Championship and are the only girls team to ever win a title. Go-Hawk Eva Diaz won an individual championship with a 1-0 thriller and Macy Smith and Annika Behrends finished 2nd as they scored 219 total points and beat the next team by 60 points.
And then Saturday night the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union announced that the sport would be sanctioned in the next school year, which is a major victory for every girl’s team in the state.
