| Annastassia Ramirez grabbed a third place medal at the Girls' State Wrestling championships March 1. |
In the consolation semi-finals Annastassia pinned last years third-place wrestler Sabrina Sandoval of Porterville. Then in the third place match she pinned Victoria Smith from Brawley.
Annnastassia finished the year with a 31-3 record losing only to the state champion Lauren Mason from Woodcreek HS twice and the state runner-up.
Mason was the only champion from the SJS/North Section.
Annastassia's brother Martin was a third-place finisher in the boys wrestling championships in 2011. They are one of the few brother-sister combos to medal in the state championships.
Elk Grove finished in 29th place as a team out of more than 200 teams.
Albany HS won the team championship, the first time a team outside of Los Angeles has won the championship.
