Pa'ani Challenge Outstanding Wrestler Award Winner wins the U.S OPEN!!
Tiare Ikei, formerly from Kaiser high school, just won the US OPEN in the senior womens freestyle division at 53kg as a senior in high school! And then was awarded with the outstanding wrestler award!
Here are some words that her dad shared on social media:
"DREAM BIG & NEVER STOP CHASING...2 years ago during her sophomore year Tiare was awarded her very first Outstanding Wrestler award by World Champion & Olympic Bronze Medalist Clarissa Chun at the Paani Challenge in Hawaii. Tonight she earned her second OW and ironically Clarissa was the presenting sponsor of the award. God is Great!
