Clara Laird signs to wrestle for Dickinson State University

Havre High School's Clara Laird has announced that she has signed with the wrestling and the track and field teams for Dickinson State University. She is the first girl wrestler from Havre High to ever sign with a college program.

Laird has been a key force in the growth of female wrestling in the state of Montana. She was a member of the inaugural HHS girls wrestling team and competed in the first ever girls state wrestling tournament in Montana.

This past year during her junior season, Laird accumulated a record of 24-6 as she took second at the Girls State Wrestling Tournament. She was also a Divisional champion and was a key contributor for the HHS girls wrestling team that finished second at Divisionals.

Along with wrestling, Laird competed for the HHS track and field during her high school career. Her success in the javelin for the Blue Ponies has earned her a spot on the Dickinson State University track and field team to compete in the same event.
