Emma Carter, Parkway West wrestling
With a pin in her third-place match at sectionals, Carter earned her first trip to the state tournament and made the most of it. She earned a second-place state medal at 174 pounds by pinning her first opponent with 17 seconds remaining in the match, then by defeating Union senior Jaiden Powell, who had pinned Carter three weeks earlier. Carter finished 27-4, placing second to Jaycee Foeller of De Soto at both the St. Clair Classic and state.
