Menke opened with a pin over Cherish Faircloth to reach the quarterfinals before falling by pin against Columbus Lakeview’s Lacy Lemburg. Menke bounced back with a pin against Sandhills Valley’s Saije Phelps, but was eliminated in the consolation third round after a loss to Superior’s Cheyenne Stacy. Menke finished her freshman season with a final record of 40-6.
