Girls wrestling moves one step closer to being sanctioned in Florida

Girls wrestling took a big step in the quest to become an officially sanctioned Florida High School Athletic Association sport on Wednesday. A presentation was made to the FHSAA’s athletic directors advisory committee and received unanimous approval to go forward, signalling a large step forward in the lengthy process.

Orlando Freedom High School girls wrestling coach Lynzie Doll and Palm Coast Matanzas wrestling coach John White made a PowerPoint presentation to the A.D. panel Wednesday. “It’s a great first step, we’re heading in the right direction,” White said. “The goal of our presentation was obviously to get approval but also to show how far girls wrestling has come.” Part of that presentation was showing that despite not being an officially sanctioned sport, Florida already has more girls wrestling in high school than states in the Southeast like Georgia, where it is already official.
