2023-24 Outlook: Our biggest strength is obviously at 235. You can’t say enough about the value of a returning state champ. We also have an almost full girls’ lineup that will help win matches just by virtue of not forfeiting too many weights. Another strength is the commitment of the girls towards success.
The returning girls have worked very hard in the offseason so that they can find success this year, and the new girls have followed suit since joining the team.
Question marks are some of the newcomers. They show signs of future brilliance, but it just depends on when it clicks. If it happens early enough in the season, we could send multiple girls to states this year.
