Leyhe’s season has been marked by a series of remarkable accomplishments. In the recent Marty Williams Invitational, she secured the championship in the 120-pound weight class, contributing significantly to the Bulldogs’ runner-up finish in the 10-school tournament. Her journey to the title was nothing short of dominant, as she won all three of her bouts, including rapid pins in just 26 seconds and 1:25, showcasing her technical prowess and physical strength.

Earlier in the season, at the Joe Bee Girls’ Invitational in Springfield, Leyhe finished a commendable second in her weight class, achieving three pins with her fastest fall in 2:21. This result contributed to the Bulldogs securing the third-place trophy in a highly competitive 22-team event.
