South Jersey's first female state champ named RV's girls' head coach

Kaila Mungo set the standard for girls’ wrestling at Rancocas Valley Regional High School. Now, she’s going to lead the Red Devils. The first state champion in South Jersey girls’ wrestling history, Mungo was recently approved as the new girls’ head coach at her alma mater. “Kaila is a true trailblazer who holds a special place in our program’s history,” Rancocas Valley athletic director Mike Lamb said in a press release. “Her wrestling experience, fierce competitive spirt and passion will help our student-athletes grow both on and off the mat.” Mungo’s rise in the wrestling world may have been a surprise to some. She was a standout softball player for the Red Devils and went out for wrestling as a way to stay in shape for her work on the diamond. “When I first started wrestling, I knew absolutely nothing," Mungo said in a press release. "But I quickly developed a passion for it and became determined to learn as much as I could. I started obsessing over learning new positions, mastering different moves and finding ways to improve my skills." Mungo would be a diamond on the mat when she won the heavyweight title in the 2019 NJSIAA state
