Rancocas Valley High School has named Kaila Mungo as the head coach of its girls' wrestling team. Mungo, who made history as South Jersey's first female state wrestling champion in 2019, returns to her alma mater to lead the program.
Mungo captured the 235-pound title at the 2019 NJSIAA Girls State Wrestling Championships at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, defeating Kittatinny's Kiera Hubmaster 2-1 in the final. Her appointment marks a significant milestone for girls' wrestling in the region.
The hiring was announced by the school on Tuesday. Mungo's experience as a pioneering athlete is expected to inspire the next generation of female wrestlers at Rancocas Valley.
