Did you know high school girls wrestle competitively? I must be showing my age because this was news to me. 
Redmond High junior Catherine Kelly, wrestled at 112 pounds in the girls' division, Class 4A State tournament and placed fourth in State! (Kelly is standing on the 4th step in the left photo and in the middle of the team photo on right). The tournament was held February 20-21 at the Tacoma Dome. According to Coach Mullen, Catherine won four matches at state and lost two. More amazingly, Catherine Kelly is the first lady wrestler in the history of Redmond High School! Kelly made it to State as a sophomore and again as a junior this year. Expect another good run for the Title next year.
On the right is a picture of the coaching staff and the 3 members of the team who qualified for State. (Coaches Paul Mullen, Bob Kaneko, and Reed Risenmay. Wrestlers Catherin Kelly, Tyler Black, and Joe Glass). Glass and Kelly are juniors and will return to Redmond Wrestling next year. Black is a senior.
