Wrestlers proud to compete in historic girls' state championship
It’s a historic week for sports in Nebraska. For sixty-three years, high school boys have competed in the state wrestling championships. For the first time ever, girls will compete in wrestling at the same level. Even advocates of the sport under-estimated the demand. More than 700 young women joined teams all over the state. There is excitement and even emotion among wrestlers and coaches competing to be the first to reach the victor’s podium.
