We had a girl wrestler on our team when I was a Junior. She was quite and athlete and although she was into the girl power thing, she was very christian and very conservative as well (I attempted to date her the next year but thats another story).

Anyway, She was our 103 Lb wrestler. why is that? She beat the guy trying to be the 103 lb wrestler (a freshman who ended up placing 5th at states 4 years later). She was strong, 103 lbs was very close to her natural weight. We got into some tournaments later in the year and she didnt have to cut weight, could run forever and was very strong for a girl. In her matches, she showed that she was stronger than the guys she was wrestling!!!

It isnt a sexual thing on the mat, it is one on one. Anyone seeing the girl for being a girl and not just as another competitor is wrong on all counts. The girls can hang, if given a chance. At least that is my experience.

I have never understood this sort of thing. It makes me think I should have tried wrestling, since I have never met a woman who is anywhere nearly as strong as I am. I should add that I have two sisters who are the very soul of viciousness in a fight. Both of them have fought off male attackers in criminal situations.

But playing around I always had to be careful not to hurt them. A wrestling match with either one of them would have been a joke.
