With the winter sports season coming up, wrestling is right around the corner. Plenty of boys wrestle, but what about the girl wrestlers? Wrestling has always been most popular among boys; however, in recent years, more girls have joined, especially at Ike.
Last year, around seven girls went to state, two more than the year before when only 5 girls went!! This year, many more girls have shown interest in this sport and plan to try wrestling for the first time. Hopefully our first-years stick with it all season so more girls have the chance to go to state!
Since most wrestlers were seniors last year, returning girl wrestlers and coaches would love to see more girls join. Enily Macedonio shared some words of encouragement, “You should join girls wrestling for the experience and the community. Wrestling offers a great way to build physical strength, discipline, and mental toughness that will help you get through life. It’s also a supportive community where you can find confidence and lifelong friendships through shared hard work and dedication.”
