Over the weekend, one of the top high school girls in the country won a prestigious tournament and then announced her collegiate intentions - all within a day or so.
Calli Gilchrist (Choate Rosemary Hall, CT) announced she will continue her wrestling career at Brown University. Currently, Brown does not have a women’s team; however, there has been a trend of women wrestling at the club level in the Ivy/EIWA and, in some instances, being a member of the men’s team.
In addition to her collegiate decision, Gilchrist also won the Beast of the East over the weekend. She ran through the 120 lb bracket without surrendering a point. She compiled three falls to go along with a pair of 5-0 decisions. In the finals, Gilchrist needed just over a minute to pin New Jersey freshman Elle Changaris.
Other national credentials for Gilchrist include a third place showing in Fargo this summer at the Junior level. A few months earlier she was a champion at NHSCA Nationals. Gilchrist capped off her junior year of high school with a National Prep championship at 114 lbs.
FloWrestling has Gilchrist labeled as the #5 overall recruit in the girl's high school Class of 2025. Currently, Gilchrist is ranked fourth in the country at 125 lbs.
