History was made today as Kimball Athletics had its first varsity girl's wrestling meet at Delano on Dec. 14. The Cubs have four girls participating in wrestling during the 2024-25 stint.
Junior grappler Abby Fischer led all wrestlers today with two pins and first place honors.
Veronica Reek, a sophomore at Kimball, placed second overall, going 1-1 on the mat. She charted her first career pin on the day.
Sophomore Kylie Van Nurden went 1-2 overall, including her first career pin as well, to tab third place honors.
The Cubs were rounded out by junior Gabby Davis who competed in three matches.
"These girls showed a lot of heart and all wrestled very well today," said head coach Mike Schindler. "We are proud of all of them!" Way to go Cubs!
