These Pittsburgh Girls Just Wanna Wrestle

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

Just a few years ago, there were no high school wrestling programs for girls in Pennsylvania. Now, there are more than 100. And that’s a magic number for the state body that governs high school sports. The PIAA is voting this week on whether to officially sanction young womens wrestling… which would let them have different kinds of competitions and all the same stuff the boys have had for years. I’m with Plum High School wrestling coach Dave Miller and four of their fiercest pioneers.  Sanction PA has a bunch of great resources if you know any young women or girls interested in forming their own team.
