The tournament is in its seventh year and contains as many brackets divided by skill level as needed. Lahainaluna’s Carly Jaramillo is the biggest legend in the tournament’s short history as the only girl to win four titles, three of them in the highest division. Pearl City’s Asia Evans won three Open titles as well.

Last year 247 girls participated in the event, which covers two days with clinics featuring Clarissa Chun, a speech by world class wrestler Katie Neste and a job fair with more than 30 booths. Novice wrestlers get as much mat time as the veterans, where you can see wrestlers like Macy Higa of Roosevelt before they become one of the state’s best. Higa won the B division two years ago before being named one of the event’s most outstanding last year.

Here are the winners of the event in its history.
