Rotgers signs with Panther women’s mat squad

Trinity Rotgers was a 14-year-old eighth grader when she first started wrestling. A year later she was a medalist at the IWCOA Girls’ State Tournament. Now a senior, she is looking to repeat that feat in the first IGHSAU-sanctioned State Tournament.

She recently signed to continue her wrestling career, no matter where this season ends, at Ellsworth Community College. She will be a part of the second Panther women’s squad which started this season with just three women.
