All total, fourteen girls from North Carolina were among the over fifteen hundred girls competing in Spokane. Katie Stowe of Mitchell HS also participated and finished the tournament 1-2.
Erwin finished fourth in the 14U 165 lb division. She dropped a close 5-2 decision in round 1 to eventual champion Shaelani Panser of Idaho, and was winning her second bout 2-0 before sustaining an injury that prevented her from continuing. Erwin was Team NC’s youngest competitor this year.
