Athlete of the Week: January 20-26, 2025

Caroline L. showcased her resilience and determination over six intense days, competing in three wrestling events and taking on 10 matches.

She started strong at the Cougars’ final home match of the season against ECS, securing two victories by pin. From there, she battled at the Queen of the Castle tournament at North Fort Myers, where she went 2-2, including a hard-fought match against a 17-1 Lakewood Ranch opponent. But Caroline wasn’t finished. In the last tournament of the regular season, she faced that same Lakewood Ranch wrestler again—this time emerging victorious, propelling herself into the finals and earning a well-deserved runner-up medal.

“She showed great improvement and perseverance,” said Coach TQ Humes. “It was great to see her come back and get that win.”

Now, Caroline sets her sights on the FHSAA District Tournament on February 10. With her momentum and determination, she’s ready to take on the next challenge!
