Audrey Jimenez has had quite a year. The 18-year-old prep star won the Arizona boys' state wrestling championships on February 17 before boarding a plane for the Pan-American Championships where she won a bronze medal. 

Now, she is in the best-of-three finals of the 2024 Olympic Trials where she will face 2020 Olympic bronze medalist Sarah Hildebrandt for the 50-kilogram women's freestyle spot. 

Jimenez picked up 10-0 techs over Nyla Valencia and Erin Golston before securing a 10-6 win over Sage Mortimer in the challenge tournament finals. Mortimer scored the first four points before Jimenez reeled off 10 straight. 

Hildebrandt defeated Jimenez in the 2023 World Team Trials finals 8-0 and 11-0, winning a bronze medal at the World Championships.
