This was a program first with Mexico High School Girls wrestling at the same event as the Mexico Middle School Girls.
It was very unique to see the younger girls interacting with the older girls.
They supported each other in their matches on and off the mat.
It was a special thing to witness as the Head Coach of the girls program.
All 4 girls coaches were there and we had an opportunity to be a team.
It was a special night for our program.”
