Hamilton School District is excited to announce that Sophia Smith has been named the inaugural head coach of the Hamilton High School Girls Wrestling Program, marking a significant moment in history and a new chapter in Charger athletics.
“This is a landmark moment for our school and community,” explains Hamilton Athletics and Activities Director Jeff Newcomer. “Establishing a girls wrestling program not only opens new doors for our female athletes but also reflects our commitment to equity, growth and opportunity in athletics,” he adds.
Smith is a life-long wrestler who attended Oklahoma City University where she was named Three-time Collegiate All-American, College Athlete of the Year, Conference Wrestler of the Year and Three-time National Scholar All-American. Smith also wrestled for Wyoming Seminary in Pennsylvania. She was a member of Team USA and previously coached at Askren Wrestling Academy.
“We couldn’t be more fortunate to have Coach Smith at the helm,” says Newcomer. “Her passion, experience and leadership make her the ideal person to build this program from the ground up and inspire the next generation of Charger female athletes.”
