Now, she is the Thunderbolts’ first two-time state champion in wrestling and all sports this year.
She also led Mica Mountain to its first team state championship in February.
Mench earned the 120-pound championship on Feb. 22 after winning the title in the same weight class last year.
She bounced back at the state competition at Phoenix’s Veteran Memorial Coliseum after losing in the divisional finals on Feb. 15.
