Calling all female wrestlers: let’s celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Wednesday, Feb. 7th

Editor’s Note; OK we are a week late but it seems like an appropriate sentiment for Valentine’s Day this week.

This Wednesday, February 7, 2018, is the 32nd annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day, a national movement to celebrate the extraordinary achievements in girls’ and women’s sports and the positive influence athletic participation brings to their lives.
A coalition of wrestling organizations, including USA Wrestling, the National Wrestling Coaches Association, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the non-profit Wrestle Like A Girl, the U.S. Wrestling Foundation and many other groups are reaching out to girls and women in wrestling to come together and celebrate women’s wrestling on Wednesday.
Starting tomorrow and going throughout the weekend, we are asking girls and women in wrestling (as well as their families and teams) to be very active on social media, posting photos and videos of girls wrestling online with the following two hashtags:
#NGWSD
#GirlsWrestle
These images on social media can include pictures of individual female athletes competing in wrestling, teams and clubs of women wrestlers posing together, girls and women practicing the sport of wrestling, and other appropriate photos and videos which will show off the sport of women’s wrestling to the world.
