Bill > HR0035

This resolution congratulates the Whiteland Community High School girls wrestling team for winning the 2026 IHSAA (Indiana High School Athletic Association) girls wrestling state championship, marking the school's first-ever team state championship in any sport. The team achieved this victory by finishing first in the state rankings, qualifying eight wrestlers for the finals, and securing two individual state champions, Kaitlynn Fouty and Mikayla Perkins, who became the first athletes from Whiteland in girls' sports to win a state championship. The team's success was further bolstered by other strong performances, including a freshman runner-up and multiple placers, accumulating 99.5 points to outscore their competitors. This achievement is particularly significant as girls wrestling is a relatively new sport, having only been sanctioned by the IHSAA for two years, and the Whiteland team has demonstrated their dominance in this emerging sport. The resolution also directs that copies of this congratulatory message be sent to State Representative Michelle Davis for distribution.
