Sweet Home freshman Kaitlyn Mieczkowski has been selected as the WNY Athletics Girls Wrestler of the Week presented by Hamburg Radiator Auto & Air for the week of Friday, January 2nd – Sunday, January 4th, 2026.
Kaitlyn wrestled to a 1st place finish on Saturday at the Chautauqua Lake Girls Invitational in impressive fashion. She earned two wins by technical superiority in the championship rounds without conceding a single point in those bouts. In the title match she earned a 12-2 victory by technical superiority to claim the 120-pound title which also helped Sweet Home to a top-5 team finish in the final standings.
So far this season Kaitlyn is 11-3 with top-3 place finishes at Alexander and SUNY Niagara. She is also a returning 3rd place winner from the 2025 Section VI championships.
According to her coaches, Kaitlyn is only in her third year of wrestling but proves to them that she truly loves the sport and is always improving. Her coaches also note that she wrestles hard in every match and has a good attitude. Kaitlyn is a three sport student-athlete at Sweet Home also playing soccer and flag football which is helping her academically as her grades continue to improve in the classroom.

Huge congratulations to Kaitlyn Mieczkowski on earning Wrestler of the Week! A 12-2 tech fall in the title match at 120 pounds — without conceding a single point in the championship rounds — is the kind of dominance that speaks volumes about her mat IQ and conditioning. What stands out even more is the fact that she's only in her third year of wrestling and is already a returning Section VI placewinner, all while balancing soccer and flag football as a three-sport student-athlete. That kind of schedule demands serious recovery and mental reset between matches and practices. It reminds me of why accessible, low-friction downtime matters so much for athletes — even something like PokéBonk, a free browser-based 3D survivor…
