Wrestling (girls): Peighton Mullins

Fort Gibson • 152 • Sophomore

Rolled to her second straight East Regional and state championship, this year at 152 pounds, in dominant fashion, going undefeated this season with an 18-0 record, amazingly pinning her opponent in every single match. In six matches at the Regional and state tournaments, the only one that lasted into the second period was her state final pin of Bixby’s Grace Thompson in 2:42. Improved her career record to an impressive 30-1 with 24 falls overall. “Peighton is a hard worker,” said Fort Gibson coach Sammy Johnson. “She is a special wrestler who has grown up competing against boys. There is no limit to what she can accomplish.”

Wrestling (girls): Sam Markwardt

Rogers • 132 • Senior

After not qualifying for the state tournament last year as a first-time wrestler, dedicated herself to wrestling and training all last summer and took a major step forward this season. Won the East Regional at 132 pounds and went on to claim the individual state championship. In the state semifinals, trailed by two points entering the third period, but rallied to pin Southmoore’s Ciana Grate to advance. Then in the state final, was down 8-2 in the third period to Aubrianna Smith of Westmoore, but again rallied to pin Smith and claim the state title. “She just has a mentality like none other,” said Rogers coach Derrick Gates. “She just wants to win. She knows it’s going to be hard work and she’s more than willing to put in that work.” Will wrestle next year at Carl Albert State in Poteau.

Wrestling (girls): Kali Hayden

Union • 185 • Sophomore

Progressed significantly this season after not qualifying for the 2021 state tournament, and delivered an outstanding performance, going 20-0 and recording pins in all three of her state tournament matches, including a 53-second victory in the 185-pound state final to take the championship. Her individual success helped propel the Redhawks to the team state championship, Union’s first. “I have been working with Kali for over two years and she is one of the hardest-working athletes that I have coached in the past 19 years,” said former Union assistant and new head coach Gerald Harris. “She is extremely dedicated, a leader in the room and the sky is the limit for her potential.”

Wrestling (boys): Garrett Wells

Glenpool • 182 • Senior

After winning the Class 5A state title at 170 pounds last year, he returned this season to claim another championship, taking both the East Regional and state titles again, this time at 182 pounds. His 5-0 decision over former state champion B.K. Seago of Collinsville in the state final capped off a 39-0 unbeaten season, during which he surrendered just one takedown all year and marking the first time a Glenpool wrestler ever finished a season undefeated. Also was the second-ever Warrior to place at state all four years. Believes that his hard work and dedication during the off-season helped him take another step this year. “I’d say probably just wrestling in the summer and training every day,” Wells said, “Just consistency and going on a lot of runs.” His college destination is undecided.

Wrestling (boys): Jersey Robb

Bixby • 195 • Junior

Volleyball: Jessica Shildt

BISHOP KELLEY • JUNIOR

Led the Comets with 471 digs in 2021. Shildt also led Bishop Kelley with 569 service receptions, while also logging 79 assists and 31 aces. Throughout her junior season, Shildt was named the most valuable player of the Union tournament, while also landing all-tournament spots at both the Bishop Kelley and Jenks tournaments. Was also named co-MVP for the Comets during the 2021 season. “Jessica does her work quietly and with great focus and determination, establishing herself as one of the top players in the state at Libero,” Bishop Kelley coach Jerri Berna said. “She makes hard plays sometimes look very routine. And this is because she is so focused, coachable, competitive and skilled.”
