Angelina Ellis-Toddington, another Chinook High grade 10 student, won bronze. Her win was the first medal a female Chinook High wrestler won at a provincial championship.

The event also marked the 25th anniversary of ASAA’s introduction of a female category to wrestling.

The LCI women and men both took second place in the 3A school team division.

The high school season is now over. However, Lethbridge Wrestling has the Alberta Open Provincial Championships this weekend in Medicine Hat and will be sending a small group to the Canadian U17/U19 Wrestling Championships in Fredericton, New Brunswick next month.
