| Scarlet Bowler is a sophomore at Moapa Valley High School and a dedicated two-sport athlete. She resides in Logandale, Nevada, within a region founded by Mormon pioneers, including her own ancestors. Her great-grandfather, Grant M. Bowler, served as the first principal of Moapa Valley High School, and his influence remains evident throughout the local schools, parks, and venues today. |

| Born eight weeks premature, Scarlet developed a resilience and fierceness early in life that has remained a defining part of her character. While her mother—a local cheer and dance instructor—initially encouraged her to participate in those activities, Scarlet decided in middle school to pursue a more intense, challenging sport. |
| |
| During her final year of middle school, Scarlet attended a wrestling tournament and was immediately drawn to the sport’s intensity. She joined the Moapa Valley team as a freshman for the 2025-26 season, competing at the varsity level in the 100 lb weight class. She was quickly embraced by her teammates, coaches, and the community, finding a sport where she felt fully supported |
| |
| To maintain her conditioning outside of the wrestling season, Scarlet participates in track, weightlifting, and rope climbing. She has also attended various summer camps, including instruction from former college athletes in Alamo, Nevada, and an intensive two-week camp with the Faito Tamashii Combat Club, where she focused on specialized techniques like leg-riding and escapes. |
| |
| As the first wrestler in a family of cheerleaders and basketball players, Scarlet had no prior experience when she began the sport. Her rapid transformation from a novice to a competitive wrestler in just one season earned her the “Grinder Award” from her coaches, recognizing her dedication and relentless work ethic. She lives by the motto: “No Days Off.” |
| |
| Beyond athletics, Scarlet enjoys spending time with her family, her animals, and her cousin. She is a loyal friend and is focused on her academic and athletic goals, with the ambition of representing her school at the state championship and bringing home a medal. |
