When did wrestling go co-ed? I think I missed something somewhere.

Don’t girls always have their own sports teams?

Is this an Iowa thing? Or maybe I just missed changes in the past few years.

There aren't girls teams that I know of. It's like high school football; there's no technical rule that keeps them out, and very rarely you see girls that can grapple with the best of them.

In the lower weight classes, such as 125 lbs. and below, a talented girl grappler can overcome strength disadvantages with quickness and leverage.

One of the guys on my team in high school got pinned by a girl. During four years of high school wrestling I saw two girls compete the whole time. One was really good and made it to regionals and other got beaten every time.
