She’s baaaaack. Both on the mat and atop the 235-pound Division of our newest NorCal Girls Wrestling Rankings.

Sac-Joaquin Section Masters champion from 2020 and returning CIF-medalist Annika Miles is expected to make her 2021-22 debut at the last possible moment, charging into the postseason at the SJS North Regional on Feb. 11 at Natomas High in Sacramento.

Her return was confirmed by her mother, Simone Miles, and signifies a serious increase in NorCal prestige, considering Annika  is ranked No. 4 in the country at teamusa.org.

Annika is one of 14 new names on the second and final regular season release of NorCal Girls Wrestling Rankings. Our inaugural season highlighting the best of NorCal will be seriously tested as girls scramble to secure CIF championship qualification from looming regional and section-championship competition in the SJS, Central Coast Section and North Coast Section.

More names are destined to appear.
