Feb. 17—History is being made when the Abilene Middle School girls wrestling team wrestle their first home matches ever on Thursday afternoon. The matches will be at 4 p.m. at the Abilene High School main gym, with six teams expected to participate. The Abilene girls will wrap up their season that day, concluding a successful first season. Head Coach Josh Peterson is proud of how the girls have both learned and competed in this first year.

"Charlie Elliot has had a phenomenal year, she is currently 12-0, and is a great leader in the room. She has been working with Josie Keener in the practice room. Josie has never wrestled before, and she has learned a lot from practicing with Charlie Elliot. Josie has beat at least one girl that beat her earlier in the year, and took first place in the last tournament in Larned. Carstyn Smith is a great team leader, she is always pushing all the girls to get better. Mandi Simeson is also anther great leader. Carstyn and Mandi are great partners together in the practice room. The two of them together during drills are always moving 100 mph and giving 100 percent.

Hayden Kirchner has had a great season and is a quiet hardworker. Kaylee Weibert was the second wrestler that had any experience on the mat before season started. Kaylee is one of two eighth graders that we have out. She continues to improve everyday as well," said Coach Peterson.

The girls recently wrestled at the Larned Tournament, and compete at Haysville this Tuesday before finishing at home this Thursday.
