Kaylynn Martin’s life was completely different just a few years ago — little did she know that she would make San Marcos program history by becoming one of the only wrestlers to place in the state tournament.
The sophomore took sixth place at the UIL 6A state wrestling championship on April 24. No one outside of the Moreno family had placed at the state competition before. The Morenos, as well as the Bandas, have deep roots within the program and have made history themselves. Martin looks up to both families and they’ve been helpful in her wrestling career. She’s proud of her historic accomplishment, but also gives praise to the Morenos and the Bandas.
“You always hear about the Morenos or the Bandas in this sport,” Martin said. “They’re really good, they deserve it, and me placing just makes me feel so good about myself.”
