“This win is really big for me,” senior Austin Widner said. “It’s actually the first time I’ve gotten gold at a varsity tournament. I think it’s just come down to working hard in practice so that I’d be winning when it matters. I got to celebrate a little, but now I’m completely focused on regionals and state and I plan to get gold there as well.”
