Former Sunnyside standout Audrey Jimenez, a sophomore at Lehigh, earned the USA Wrestling Anthony-Maroulis Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation’s best women’s college wrestler.

Jimenez was an NCAA champion at 110 pounds with a perfect 21-0 record. She posted a remarkable 100% bonus rate, with seven pins, eight technical falls, six forfeits and no match going to a decision, according to USA Wrestling.

“It’s an honor to receive the Anthony-Maroulis Trophy,” Jimenez said in a release. “Victoria (Anthony) and Helen (Maroulis) have both been huge role models, and I’m fortunate to have spent time with them and experienced their humor, humility, and willingness to give back and help others. I appreciate all they have done for the sport through their insane talent, work ethic, knowledge, and authentic characters.”

At the first NCAA Women’s Wrestling Championships, Jimenez secured three wins by technical fall before stopping returning champion Sage Mortimer of Grand Valley State in the finals by pin in 1:50. Jimenez was named Outstanding Wrestler of the NCAA Championships.

“This award couldn’t have gone to a more deserving human,” said Brazel Marquez, Lehigh head coach. “I’m so, so proud of Audrey. Not many people know the kind of year she has had behind the scenes, so for her to see, hear and reap the fruits of her hard labor makes me the happiest. This one is special not only because it’s the first year, but because of everything behind the scenes it took to get here. Audrey is a great student, a great leader, a great teammate, and a great person.”

The USA Wrestling Anthony-Maroulis Trophy winner was selected by a vote from three constituent groups—women’s college head coaches, national wrestling media and the fans. Each group accounted for one-third of the total vote.

“USA Wrestling is proud to present the Anthony-Maroulis Trophy to Audrey Jimenez, who has represented Lehigh University and Team USA with exceptional effort and class on and off the mat,” said Rich Bender, USA Wrestling Executive Director. “It was a monumental year for women’s college wrestling, and Audrey played a critical role in elevating the sport through her performances this season.”

The USA Wrestling Anthony-Maroulis Trophy is named after Victoria Anthony and Helen Maroulis, who are the first four-time women’s college national champions. Both women won a fourth WCWA national title in 2014 as teammates at Simon Fraser University, becoming the first wrestlers in history to achieve the feat.
