Michaela Hutchison

On February 5, 2006, Michaela Hutchison of Soldotna, Alaska became the first girl to ever win a state high school wrestling championship competing against boys.

In the finals, she beat Aaron Boss of Colony High School, 1-0. The difference in the match was an escape with 16 seconds left in the bout.

Michaela finished the year with a 45-4 record, including 33 pins.

It was also the first time that a brother and sister had ever won state titles side-by-side, as her sibling, Eli, also won the state title at 135 pounds.
