Dutton made history at Willard High School by becoming the program's first female state champion. In the 235-pound division, she secured the Missouri Class 2 State Championship with an unblemished 37-0 record as a senior. She further cemented her legacy by winning the 16U Girls National Championship at the 2024 U.S. Marine Corps 16U Nationals in Fargo, N.D., and placing third in the Junior division. Dutton's drive and commitment to excellence make her a valuable addition to the Trojans.
