The wrestling room at Steamboat Springs High School is full with both boys and girls wrestling this year. In the past, SSHS hasn’t been able to field a full team of girls.
But not this year.
This is the first year to have a full girls high school wrestling team at Steamboat Springs High School. Here’s head coach Cory McGrady.
“So we have the first ever Steamboat Springs High School Girls Wrestling Team. It’s extremely exciting. We’ve got a great group of girls here. We had about seven incoming freshman this year, so it’s a huge number to have for wrestling in general. The girls that we have on the team are just willing to work hard and they support each other a lot. So as a coach, that’s the main thing we want to see on a wrestling team, that they work hard and support each other.”
There are two seniors wrestling for the Sailors Boys and Girls teams this year. They are Danielle Latramurti and Colton Melland.
In the past, a few Steamboat Springs girls practiced with the Sailors but wrestled for Moffat County.
This is the 4th year for the Moffat County Girls Wrestling team, which has ten girls on the team this year. Two of those girls are from Hayden, and wrestling for the Bulldogs. They are Emily Hockaday and Sydney Preston.
All wrestlers from Steamboat Springs, Hayden, and Moffat County are at the Warrior Classic in Grand Junction this weekend.
In Oak Creek, the SoRoCo Girls Wrestling team has a dual match at Eagle Valley High School on Tuesday, Dec. 16. There are three girls wrestling for the SoRoCo Rams.
Jan. 1, 2024 — This is the 2nd year for Moffat County Girls Wrestling and 24 girls are signed up
