Deirdre Creed

Deirdre Creed grew up in Kotzebue and is a 2014 graduate of Mt. Edgecumbe High School in Sitka, where she was co-captain of the varsity cross-country and wrestling teams. The injury described here healed quicker than expected, so she went on to compete at the state tournament last December, at the Arctic Winter Games in Fairbanks in March, and at a national tournament in Reno in April. After wrestling mostly boys since second grade, Deirdre joined the women’s wrestling squad this fall at Warner Pacific College.
