It was a historic moment for the Lakes girls wrestling program and the rest of the West Central District 3A this past weekend when sophomore Kiaya Van Scoyoc captured a state championship during the Mat Classic 3A state tournament at the Tacoma Dome.

The sophomore went undefeated in the 155-pound weight class and pinned Haylee Rabenstein of Sedro Wooley in the title match. Lakes Athletic Director Joe Keller told Patch it's the first women's state title in Lakes' history and the West Central District 3A classification.

Patch released a video of Van Scoyoc on her way to landing third place in the 160 pound weight class as a freshman.
