Mykayle Sutton from Salina South was voted the Salina Area Preseason Girls Wrestler of the Year. Sutton was honored to be chosen and has been putting in work all offseason getting ready for the upcoming competition. 

“Preparing for this upcoming season hasn’t been easy, I have had to do extra work inside and outside of the wrestling room,” Sutton said. “One of the biggest things I have been trying to improve on is my speed and mentality. 

Sutton has big-time aspirations for the upcoming season including striving towards being the best.

“This season I am focused on getting my first high school state championship and being one of the top high school wrestlers in Kansas,” Sutton said.

Sutton is not just on the wrestling team at Salina South, but is also involved in the arts. 

“I am a part of the marching and pep band at Salina South High School,” Sutton said.

With big plans for the future, Sutton would like to wrestle in college in Iowa after graduation. 

“I plan on taking my wrestling to the next level in the future and go to college at Iowa,” Sutton said. “After that go to the military.”
