Today is the last day of Women’s Wrestling Week, and USA Wrestling is encouraging female wrestlers, coaches and families to post photos and videos today in celebration of girls wrestling at #GirlsWrestle.
Since Feb. 10, wrestling people across the nation and world have made posting on Twitter and Facebook and other social media depicting women and girls in wrestling, using the hashtag #GirlsWrestle. The photo to the left, and a number of photos posted below were included on the social media posts.
The week began with a major women’s college event, the WCWA Women’s College Nationals, which was won by King University for the fourth straight year.
The week ends today with the completion of a major Senior women’s international event, the Klippan Lady Open, held in Klippan, Sweden. The USA was led by fifth-place finishers Amy Fearnside, Arian Carpio and Mallory Velte. This is one of the toughest women’s Senior-level Open events in world this year.
In addition, this weekend marked the official high school state championships in girls wrestling in three states, Hawaii, Washington and Tennessee, as well as the Regional Championships in Texas. Below are some clips which mention the girls high school championships in those states.
