GAC (Gateway Athletic Conference) is an important Conference for athletes and especially wrestlers because it’s a way for wrestlers to showcase their growth over the season to prove their strengths and how they have overcome their weaknesses, and it’s also more than that; the conference itself is a gathering of old friends where competitors and family can meet and converse. Sophomore Kaitlyn Sparkman, who won her first Conference this year, remarks about the team’s win.
“I’m proud of everyone who fought. Peyton she got so much better this year. Everyone else, like Addie and Harper, who were in the finals, fought so hard that tournament. And we lost seven girls who helped us in GACs last year. People really didn’t think we were gonna do well this year, and we’re just proving everyone wrong with how everyone’s wrestling and developing this year.”
The Spartan Wrestling team’s next event is Wednesday, Jan. 21, at 6:00 pm in the FHC big gym.
