State Senator Shane Wilkin recently recognized the achievements of Makennah Craft, a senior at Jackson High School. Craft secured her fourth consecutive state wrestling championship title, triumphing in the 100-pound class at the Schottenstein Center this March.

Wilkin praised Craft's dedication, stating, "This incredible young lady is a powerhouse who shattered all expectations by winning an unheard of fourth state title." He further commended her "sensational work ethic" and the benefits of "working out three times a day," which have propelled her to unmatched success.

Makennah Craft's victories carry added significance due to the absence of divisions in the Ohio Girls State Wrestling Tournament, requiring her to face opponents from larger schools. Her flawless 44-0 record for the 2024-2025 season underscores her dominance in the sport.

Readers interested in learning more can watch an interview with Makennah conducted by her local paper, The Telegram News.
