110-6A Samara Chavez of Arlington Martin a junior this season and a 3x state finalist claimed her 2nd consecutive state championship this year. Chavez was a takedown away her freshman season from making it a 3x championship, but 3xer Camille Fournier stopped that causing Chavez to settle for 2nd place. Chavez at this time hasn’t chosen a college path but being an international wrestler and #1 ranked national wrestler am sure she has offers from a lot of D1 colleges.
