SRHS Female Wrestler Wins First Place at District Championship Now Heads to Regionals 

Sebastian River High School wrestler Claire Betz won first place at the 120 lb girls district championship for 1A D13 and is heading to regionals next week in Wellington, where the top four will move to the state championship.

In October of 2021, Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) voted to make girls wrestling a sanctioned high school sport for the 2021-2022 school year. Creating a separate, standalone girl’s individual bracket tournament will allow female grapplers a chance to compete against other girls.
