A Maple Ridge athlete and an administrator of sports both received provincial honours this week.
Maple Ridge wrestler Agnia Krakovska was chosen as the Sport BC High School Female Athlete of the Year, as that organization held its annual awards night on March 6.
Krakovska, fights for the Maple Ridge Ramblers, and is fresh off winning a B.C. high school wrestling championship in Vancouver on Feb. 22, where she was also chosen the top female wrestler at the tournament.
However, she was honoured Thursday for a 2024 that saw her take provincial, national, and international trophies.
Krakovska started wrestling just two years ago, and last year won the under-19 national championships, took bronze at the under-17 Pan American Championships, and was the under-17 Canadian World Team Trials champion.
