"Wrestling is a sport that’s for everyone," says Carley Rusk, head coach of the high school's new girls wrestling club.
“It doesn’t matter how athletic, fast or strong you are, there’s a spot for you," adds Rusk. "It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time on the mat or you’ve been on it for five years. We welcome everyone and encourage them to try something new. We want to help you, empower you, and ensure you have fun along the way.”
