Inaugural Season Of Girls Varsity Wrestling In Wyoming Was A Success For Sheridan
Regardless if they won a state championship or not, history was made in Wyoming as girls varsity wrestling took to the mat for the first time this season. In the past, girls that wanted to wrestle competed and practiced against boys, but not everyone was ok with that idea. 
Eventually enough schools in the state were able to put a varsity girls team together and before this season started, the Wyoming High School Activities Association gave the sport the green light to begin practice and competition. Becca Oetken of Sheridan ended up winning the state championship in the 235 pound weight class. 
She says she had no experience when the season started, and wanted to try something new, plus inspire other girls to compete. She adds a lot has changed since practice started about 3 months ago. … rest of story at Sheridanmedia.com/news/inaugural-season-of-girls-varsity-wrestling-in-wyoming-was-a-success

Oklahoma University Women’s Wrestling Club in the Works
Last week we did a story on the “Cowgirl Wrestling Club”, a grassroots effort by some students at Oklahoma State to establish a wrestling club team with hopes of eventually becoming an official part of the Oklahoma State Athletic Department. This week, we’ve learned that a few students at OU are looking to do something similar. Maureen Manzon, the treasurer of the University of Oklahoma Women’s Wrestling Club wrote the following on the group’s GoFundme. “I hope this message finds you well. My name is Maureen Manzon, and I am reaching out on behalf of Leslea Helm and a group of fourteen determined young women, including myself, at the University of Oklahoma. We all share a collective dream of establishing the Women’s Wrestling Club on our campus. 
Leslea Helm, our passionate leader, is driving this initiative with a vision to create an empowering space for women in wrestling. We’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for essential needs like equipment, uniforms, practice space, coaching, and potential travel costs for competitions. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will be instrumental in turning our dream into reality. It will not only support Leslea and our team in pursuing our passion for wrestling but will also contribute to fostering women’s sports at our university. … story at … https://owrestle.com/womens-wrestling-club-in-the-works-at-ou/

Why Are High Schoolers Winning College Opens?
High schoolers are winning college opens, Olympic fever is here, and six regionals are set for the National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships
Carley Ceshker made the wrestling world take notice when she won the 123-pound bracket at the 2022 Midlands Championships as a high school freshman. The Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, native made the 90-minute trip to the prestigious tournament that included a women’s division for the first time.  “Going into the tournament I didn’t know much about Midlands,” Ceshker said. “It was just another tournament. I could feel nerves once I got there but I also didn’t know the girls I was wrestling. I was just going out there and doing what I do. It was a good turnout.” A good turnout might be an understatement. She won three matches including a 7-6 victory over North Central’s Amani Jones and a 31-second fall over Augsburg’s Gabby Skidmore.
Jones is a two-time NCWWC All-American, 2023 national finalist, and 2023 U20 World bronze. Skidmore is a four-time All-American and a 2020 WCWA finalist.  That trend continued this season as multiple high schoolers — including multiple freshmen — are finding success at college opens.  “I think it’s a result of girls being exposed to quality coaching at a younger age than ever before,” North Central coach Joe Norton said. “This is thanks to the growth of girls and women’s wrestling across the country. It’s awesome to see some of the best clubs in America with girls now training there full-time. You didn’t see women in the best clubs five to 10 years ago like you do now. They’re being coached the way freshmen girls in high school were never coached before.” … story at … Flowrestling.org/Why-are-high-schoolers-winning-college-opens
