In May 2023, the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association officially sanctioned girls\u2019 wrestling after reaching the required 100-school threshold, with Mt. Lebanon among those programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lebo senior Paige Jox began wrestling as a freshman, inspired by her father, who had been involved in the sport throughout his life. She recently committed to Washington &amp; Jefferson College to continue both her academic and athletic careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe head women\u2019s coach at W&amp;J, Coach Krenzelak, has put so much time and effort into working with me and has believed in me and my skills, even through losses, which means a lot,\u201d Jox said. \u201cI also love the plans he has for the team, like group activities, providing resources and taking trips to other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392.webp?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lily Perri , freshman.\n(Photo by Pete Eberhart)\" class=\"wp-image-35662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8392-scaled.webp?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lily Perri , freshman.<br>(Photo by Pete Eberhart)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jox placed second in the WPIAL during both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, compiling a 70-21 record. Her success has helped spotlight girls\u2019 wrestling as a legitimate and growing sport at Mt. Lebanon. She said her proudest accomplishment was qualifying for nationals last year, where she won four matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now a senior, Jox sees herself as a leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was part of our very first girls\u2019 wrestling team, so I feel really proud being a senior and getting to see how the team has evolved,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re all really close, and it honestly feels more like a family than a team. My teammates are some of my closest friends, and I think of them as my sisters because of how much time we spend together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jox wrestles six days a week and lifts or does cardio beforehand, totaling nearly 15 workouts per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Junior Sophia Beanner began wrestling at age 11, also inspired by her father. As a freshman, she placed sixth in the WPIAL at 100 pounds and described this season\u2019s team dynamic as \u201cincredible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That bond became especially meaningful when Beanner learned she had a resurfaced childhood hip issue that doctors recommended repairing surgically. Instead, she chose to strengthen it so she could continue wrestling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her resilience and commitment have made her a role model for younger teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince I\u2019m an upperclassman and have experience in the sport, people see me as someone they can come to with questions, whether it\u2019s about wrestling or anything in general,\u201d Beanner said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout her wrestling career, Jox has faced her own challenges, including struggles with self-confidence. She recalled breaking into tears before matches, questioning whether she could win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t nerves \u2014 it was straight fear,\u201d Jox said. \u201cI felt so much pressure to live up to rankings and other people\u2019s expectations. The best thing I did was create the mentality that I can beat anyone if I put my mind to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lebobeat.com\/staging\/1488\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/759a8477.webp?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Juliana Van Slyke , sophomore.
