This is a story from Cody Goodwin of the Des Moines Register, but the link is on USAToday website, so no subscription is needed.
Basically, she's the only girl out for wrestling at her school (Sigourney-Keota) and they have no program sharing deal with another district. Rather than be a girls team of one, she joined the boys team and qualified for state. Has a chance today to seal up a place on the podium. Because of a number of jr. high girls coming into high school next year, they will probably start their girls program next winter, so this is, most likely, her last time wrestling with the boys.
Seems like a very driven individual with sites set on a college wrestling career - thought it was an interesting story and wanted to share here.
