Allison Meyer is the Washington Missourian’s Athlete of the Week, sponsored by First State Community Bank.
Meyer, a sophomore on the WHS girls wrestling team, became the first female wrestler at WHS to win a district title, capturing the 116-pound title at the Class 1 District 1 Tournament to qualify for the first-ever girls state wrestling meet.
Meyer posted a 4-0 record at the district tournament with four pins. In the 116-pound title match, she pinned Rockwood Summit’s Lillian Wallis, who was an honorable mention selection in the state rankings.
Meyer (24-9) and Mia Reed (24-5) will represent the Lady Jays at the state wrestling meet Feb. 14-16 at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, along with eight members of the WHS boys wrestling squad.
