My son wrestled for 11 years from first grade thru his senior year in high school. He wrestled the upper weights and only had to wrestle two girls in his career. One was tough but the other was a push over. It’s rare in Michigan to see a girl at the high school state finals actually place, but they are always the fan favorites.
Same here-a girl makes it to the state tournament and it’s front page news on the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Seems that often girls who wrestle have dads who were wrestlers and no brothers.
