Opinion | I was a female wrestler in high school before there was girls’ wrestling

I was a girl wrestling on the boys’ team in high school in the 1990s, and I honestly didn’t think much about it. This was before social media, which probably helped.

I feel we might be missing a larger point in opinions about girls’ wrestling, which is simply the fact that high school sports can (and should) be about enjoying one’s sport. Part of enjoying a sport is being able to pursue it at the highest level, including varsity, to match an athlete’s aptitude and interest.
