Wilmington High School Lady Cane Wrestling

Sadly the 2026 wrestling season has come to an end. Our girls wrestled hard yesterday at Harrison, but we came up short of getting anyone through to Columbus. Bristyl Ruddle and Kaylinn Vance both finished the day in 6th place. Congratulations to all of the girls. We are a very young team and there are many highlights coming over the next few years.

We’ll take a week off to heal and reflect and then we start preparing for next years run at the state tournament.

Thanks to all of our fans and supporters.

Top 4 at Sectionals will advance to the District Tournament. The season will be over for those outside the top 4 and preparation for 2027 will begin.

This team is young and hungry. Should be a dun couple of weeks!

Good reminder. Post season is upon us. The girls have worked hard. It’s time to show it. Regardless of results over the next few weeks, we are proud of the progress these young ladies have made and they have shown that the future of this program is very bright. Let’s all appreciate them and the way they have represented our Cane family!

Good luck girls! We are proud of you!!!
