Flagler Palm Coast High School wrestler Mariah Mills defended her national wrestling championship on March 29 at the National High School Coaches Association High School Nationals in Virginia Beach.
Two other FPC wrestlers, Christina Borgmann and Kendall Bibla, placed second in their weight classes at the national championships.
Mills won the 107-pound championship for the second consecutive year. She beat high school state champs from Washington, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Indiana and a state finalist from Michigan to take first place in a bracket with 79 girls.
She won five of her seven matches by pin, including the final against Joy Cantu of Indiana. Mills pinned Cantu in 3:46. Cantu had pinned all of ehr opponents in the first period heading into the final.
Borgmann placed second in the 138-pound class, winning five matches and losing only to Jacinda Espinosa, the Missouri state champ, in the final. Bibla placed second in the 165-pound class, winning four matches and losing only a 2-1 decision to four-time West Virginia state champ Kaylie Hall in the final.
Borgmann and Bibla each won their second state championship earlier this month, while Mills won a state title in 2024, joining her brother Jordan who also won in 2024. They became the first brother and sister to win FHSAA wrestlings titles in the same year.
FPC's Ana and Alisha Vilar, Alexa Calidonio, Tiana Fries and Juliana Mills also competed at Nationals.
