Yelm wrestler Madisyn Erickson voted WaFd Bank Washington High School Athlete of the Week
Congratulations to Yelm's Madisyn Erickson for being voted SBLive’s WaFd Bank Washington High School Athlete of the Week for Feb. 5-Feb.10!
It might be a good idea not to find yourself staring at this senior from the other side of a wrestling mat. Chances are she will find a way to dominate - and has this winter. She won a regional title at 120 pounds, then captured her second Mat Classic championship Saturday night to complete a 46-0 season.
Erickson received 43.2% of the vote, beating out Kentwood boys basketball standout Corey Tita, who finished second with 27.1%.
