We are proud to partner with Channel 11 KHOU as they honor these amazing high school athletes for their work both on and off the field (or track!).

However, she never expected to join the sport. Finally convinced to participate, she took home 2nd place in the state tournament for her weight class! Jasmine faces a unique challenge in that she was born without sight in one eye.  Wrestling has helped her overcome her insecurities and has proved she can do anything she sets her mind to! Congratulations Jasmine, you are a true inspiration!
