Kearney, Mo., February 7, 2025: As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their third-straight Super Bowl appearance, the Kansas City region already has a formidable legacy in the Kearney High School Girls Wrestling team.
The Bulldog girls secured their third consecutive conference title after defeating the Smithville High School Warriors on the road 48-36 on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Beating their Highway 92 rivals made winning the conference title even sweeter, according to Head Coach Nick Ward.

The following Bulldogs earned wins against Smithville:
- Myla Woolridge
- Ella Herndon
- Bailey Martin
- Riley Walker
- Bella Wenzel
- Emma Schaetz
- Carli Vargas

The KHS girls finish this regular season with a 5-0 record in the Greater Kansas City Suburban Blue Conference. They host the Class 1-District 4 tournament on Feb. 14-15.
