Dakota Lohrmann is a complex individual.

While the Warrenton senior has the heart of a Warrior, she also possesses the mind and soul of a poet.

“I started seriously during my sophomore year,” said Lohrmann of her poetry. “It’s exciting. Ever since my junior year, it’s something I’ve pushed to endeavor and seek to do well. It’s a good outlet for me to express my joys, my lows, my highs, my everything. I like to make difficult things sound beautiful and to enjoy them.”

While her mind works to write poetry, Lohrmann – who credits Sarah Davis for fostering her poetic spirit – said her efforts show that she can perform a physical form of poetry on the wrestling mat.

According to Flowrestling.com, Lohrmann owns a career record of 94-27, which puts her on the precipice of the vaunted 100-career win mark.

Her season, in which she’s wrestled at 135 pounds, includes a 25-4 mark.

Warrenton coach Clayton Olsson said it’s interesting to know just how complex his senior is.

“When you look at her outside interests, you think those don’t really go,” Olsson said. “She’s a great competitor. She wrestled (against Wright City on January 22) and wrestled up a weight class against a girl who went to state, a state medalist. A lot of wrestlers want to protect their ego. Dakota went out and did what she did to help the team. That was her only thought.”

The coach added that Lohrmann is one of the wrestlers who sets the standard for what he aims for his program to be.

“She’s a great person,” Olsson said. “She’s very respectful and polite. She never whines or complains. She always just works so hard. She’s the exact person you want in your line-up.”

Lohrmann said she’s had a great senior season on the mat and it has left her working hard in the hopes of more success before the postseason.

She pointed to the Gateway Athletic Conference where she placed fourth.

“I’ve never placed in that tournament before,” Lohrmann said. “Just seeing me place at every tournament this year after not placing at any tournament in my first year has been astronomical.”

If she has her way, Lohrmann isn’t finished placing at tournaments.

It’s something she aims to take all the way to districts and the state meet in Columbia next month.

“I am aiming for state,” Lohrmann said. “If I get there, I want to focus on working hard to (earn a) medal. I would like to (at least) finish fifth or sixth. I want to keep working to see if I can’t do better.”
