Broken Arrow’s Olivia Brown was named USA Today’s national girls wrestler of the year Thursday in the newspaper’s High School Sports Awards.
Brown won the 215-pound title in the OSSAA’s first officially sanctioned state tournament for girls in February, helping lead the Tigers to the team championship.
She also won the title at 215 in the 2020 exhibition state tournament.
Brown pinned Moore’s Heidi Noisey in the 2021 state final and pinned her three other postseason opponents, needing only a combined three minutes, 59 seconds to close out the four falls.
She was ranked first or second nationally in her weight class for most of the season. Last week, she was named to the Oklahoma Wrestling Coaches Association’s inaugural All-State girls team.
Brown signed to wrestle at Grand View University of Des Moines, Iowa, and wants to study to be a data analyst. Grand View finished eighth in the 2021 NAIA Women’s National Wrestling Invitational.
