Fairbury's Schramm commits to Midland for women's wrestling

FAIRBURY, NE — It's been a good week for one of the Jeffs's wrestlers. 

Makena Schramm — who won a girls wrestling district championship last weekend — signed her letter of intent to continue grappling in college Thursday afternoon.

The Fairbury senior will head to Fremont for college. She signed with Midland University Women’s Wrestling. Schramm has qualified for the state championships each year girls wrestling has been officially sanctioned by the NSAA. Last year she finished as a runner-up at 185 lbs.

This year, she heads to Omaha undefeated in the 190 lbs division at 39-0, including her four wins at districts. Schramm won all four of her matches at districts via pin fall. She won two of the matches in under one minute and spent just 6:20 total on the mat in four matches.

The successful senior campaign comes after Schramm claimed a national title at the 2022 Scholastic AAU Duals — also known as the Disney Duals — in Florida this past summer.
