Vonda Proves That Girls Can Wrestle

Submitted By: Vonda | Age: 16

Well, last year was my freshmen year…I wanted to join the wrestling team but the coach said I couldn’t because I was a girl.  This year is my sophomore year. now I’m on the wrestling team and I’m the first girl in Three Rivers to ever pin anybody.  I have 8 wins so far, and getting more tomorrow at a tournament. I feel very successful, and happy that I stuck it out and did wrestling…because its my favorite sport ever!!!
