Morris capped her freshman wrestling season with the Class 5A 120-pound state championship last Saturday in Park City.

Morris, who finished the season 21-3 dominated Salina Central’s Natalia Garcia wire-to-wire, leading 15-4 in the second period before ending the match with a pin. 

One of three state champions for the T-Birds, Morris helped Shawnee Heights post a third-place team finish for the second straight season.
