I have seen a number of female wrestlers both in KS and MO, and we pulled for one poor gal from Raytown who was something like 0-17 when she came into a tourney I was at this year. By the end of the tourney, she was 1-21. She finally beat this poor guy, who was totally embarassed afterward. I sure hope he didn't have a long bus ride home with his team! The biggest problem I have seen with the female wrestlers is that they lack the upper-body strength. For the most part, they don't want to work out in the wt. room because of how it shapes their upper- body. I am thrilled to hear that there are some really great female wrestlers and hope someday soon to see one wrestle. Kudos ladies! And guys...a loss is a loss. If it's too a good wrestler, it shouldn't matter!
