How can this be for a petunia with the word mini in its name?

The Dripping Springs Wrestlers had a banner day at the 13-5A District tourney. For the first time in the history of DS wrestling the girls had enough participants to vie for the district championship and responded with the title and sending all nine to regionals. Carson Crow, Addison Williams and Caroline Nix became the third, fourth and fifth to win individual titles in history.
