Freshman Charlotte Koether is making her first trip to Coralville, after winning a wrestleback for second place at 130 pounds.

Koether said her goal was to try her hardest and have fun. “As I started going further, I thought, ‘I’m glad about where I am. If I don’t move on, I’m happy,’” she said. “I was so scared at the end. I did everything I could. Now, I’m just so happy. I didn’t think I was going to make it to state.”
