Shannon and Ailee Briggs
Senior/Freshman
Key West Wrestling
“Ailee is determined to be great, and is extremely dedicated to her craft. She is a talented wrestler, but it is her heart and work ethic that sets her apart. Shannon is a great leader and has become the glue that binds our program together. She never quits and has a true heart of a champion.” – Chaz Jimenez, Key West wrestling coach
It isn’t too often that two athletes from the same team bring home runner-up medals from the state finals in an individual sport such as wrestling. But when those athletes have the last name Briggs, the odds become significantly greater. Teammates and sisters Shannon and Ailee Briggs did just that last week, taking their rightful place on their respective podiums and making Conch history with their FHSAA 1A second place medals, capping off a stellar inaugural season for Lady Conchs wrestling.
“As a coach I couldn’t be any prouder of both of them,” coach Chaz Jimenez said of the sisters.
For their dedication, leadership, and amazing accomplishments, Shannon and Ailee Briggs are this week’s Keys Weekly Athletes of the Week.
