Three WCS high school student-athletes now hold State titles after winning first place in their categories of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) Wrestling Championships February 23-25.
Summit High’s Jarvis Little won his second consecutive State title, this time in the AA 126 Class. His teammate Landon Desselle also won first place in the AA 138 Class.
“For Jarvis and Landon, these State titles are something they have dreamed about and have been working for since they started wrestling,” said SHS wrestling coach Pete Miller. “Jarvis won his first State title last year and has not stopped preparing to make sure he won this year as well. Landon placed third last year and also did not stop preparing to make sure he won this season. These two are not satisfied until they both win as seniors next year as well. I am so proud of both these wrestlers and how they represent Summit High and our community.”
After finishing as a runner-up last year, Independence High’s Rylee Lent won this year’s State championship in the Girls 100 Class. Her coach is Dalton Howard.
“Rylee is an outstanding student-athlete,” Howard said. “She is extremely goal-oriented in and out of the classroom. Not only is she a State champion, but she earned a perfect ACT score this winter. There is no doubt she will excel in whatever she decides to tackle next.”
