Tavia Heidelberg-Tillotson - 191-National Champion
Tavia Heidelberg-Tillotson will go down in Menlo College Athletics history books as a 5x All-American and 2024 National Champion all earned with an undefeated 24-0 record. On day one of the NAIA National Championships, Tavia had an 8-2 win by decision, a 13-0 tech fall, and a 5-1 decision to earn All-American status and advance into the semifinals. There, she faced Maquoia Bernabe (Cumberlands) and totaled up a 3-0 lead in the first period which would be enough to win by decision and earn her spot at the Championship Match. Tavia was well prepared to leave everything on the mat in order to win the title. Joanna Hendricks (Waldorf) was able to earn 3 points on the board and Tavia responded with a 2-point takedown before the first period ended, leaving the score at 2-3. The second period was all about defense as Hendricks attempted multiple shots at Heidelberg, leading to the perfect opportunity to counter and get her on the floor for 2-points and ultimately the National title!
