Oakridge swimmers and wrestlers had a stellar showing at the Winter SPC State Championships in Houston last weekend, including a first-ever Oakridge SPC State Champion Wrestler: Senior Judge McWithey.
Judge and the Oakridge Wrestling team competed at Texas State Prep in Houston the weekend before, where he placed 2nd in the state in his weight division and earned a trip to nationals for the second year in a row. He will travel to Lehigh University to represent Oakridge at Prep Nationals on February 25. In addition to the first place title claimed by Judge at SPC, Jeff Wright took 3rd place in his division at SPC, and Zane Ahlfinger took 4th at State Prep - both fantastic showings for the sophomores.
The Oakridge Swim team brought home a number of medals amid tough competition at the SPC State Competition. Special kudos to freshman Zoe Fowler, who took 1st in the 100 yard backstroke and 3rd in the 100 yard butterfly. Two relay teams also placed 3rd in competition: sophomore Corrina Sullivan, sophomore Lucy Robinson, Zoe Fowler, and freshman Kate Mitchell in the 200 yard medley relay, and Kate Mitchell, junior Amy Zhang, Corrina Sullivan, and Zoe Fowler in the 200 yard freestyle relay.
Congratulations to all of our outstanding scholar-athletes!
