I wrestled her when I was young... she is a beast

[@duncanmacleod2136]

@@brianstacy3273 I want to see her wrestling guys. I don’t see anything on how she did against state champ guys or anything like that. This is novice so it’s a lot different.

[@colinashley2961]

this was such an amzing match

[@thefootballfanatic497]

This is crazy because now in 2”24 I made it to state for IKWF and t there is an entire girls division and a girl on my team won the state finals

[@picot925]

A quick takedown, good control of opponent and a solid pin.....Wonder if she pinned each of her other opponents on her way to this championship final.

[@briannarichey7954]

she pinned 3 others, tech falled one, and majored another I think.

Love to see The Girl win. Way to go. Congrats

[@bottlesflying]

so you're a sexist troll .

[@ohhknife1677]

She was good and this year I went to state and I got 3 and I almost beat the 1 st place guy

[@gigflakesdog4638]

What?

[@fieeze3555]

That’s my club

[@bottlesflying]

She identifies as female.

[@bottlesflying]

she's gonna find out she's not so great as she gets older if she continues wrestling boys.

[@jimmyjohnson2026]

I agree

[@bottlesflying]

+Mike Hunt of course boys and girls shouldn't be wrestling each other in the first place.

[@briannarichey3309]

+Montana Dan you are so ignorant

[@bottlesflying]

it's great for the girls since they have nothing to lose. wrestling is about the only sport that doesn't always separate the sexes.

[@briannarichey3309]

+Montana Dan some girls do have something to lose. Many of us want to represent our gender.
