While in high school at South Winneshiek, Felicity Taylor made a name for herself in the Iowa wrestling community. Today, her name is one that has become familiar with wrestling fans all over the United States and beyond.

In March, the junior 116-pounder for the McKendree University (Lebanon, Ill.) became the first Iowa female to win a national championship as Taylor capped off an undefeated season by winning the title.
