⚡️ LET THEM WRESTLE⚡️
Its not uncommon for female wrestlers to face adversity just to be able to step on the mat.
It can come from coaches, school districts and even teammates when in mixed competition. When a school district doesn't support a girl wrestler it may come as not recognizing accomplishments.
There is a fantastically talented, tough as nails👊 💪female wrestler in NYS that is a CHAMPION and a place winner respectively in the Girls State Invitational. Her school not only refuses to recognize her 1st place but also does not recognize any of the other place winners on their girls team. How incredibly proud a school district should be of the tough and resilient ladies!
What leg do they stand on? Well, the school claims the Girls Invitational is not a state Championship even though NYSPHSAA calls it a state Championship.
THIS IS DISCRIMINATION!!
What can you do if this happens to you? Letters to your Athletic Director, Principal and School Board is a great start! Encourage friends and family to write also! What other things can you think of that can be done? Do you see discrimination of girls wrestlers where you are?
