Nix, I guess I need to meet you. I like the way you think. We, the Edisons, do not take any pleasure in seeing any of the wreslters go off the mat crying. Sometimes we will get a girl wrestling that says she wrestles to "beat a boy". Ed immediately takes the time to point out to the girl that she is then wrestling for the wrong reasons. Wrestling is so much bigger than that. The whole girls wrestling debate has gone on forever and will continue for some time. This is good and bad but at least people are thinking about it.

I hope that Kansas as a state can take pride in knowing that in women's wrestling in 2008 we were #3 in the Nation in Juniors, #1 in Elem and Middle School Divisions. Our Jr Women took 4th in Duals. We have a number of our Ks girls wrestling in college programs. Brooke Bogren, who posted earlier is a KS born and bred wrestler from an early age, and is a 2X National Champ. She is on our coaching staff for the Kansas Krusaders.

We are not without appreciation for male wrestlers. Our two sons wrestle in college right now and wrestled from the age of 4. We want to have a league for women so they can get out of the males rooms...but Rome was not built in a day. If you want us to go away, it probably is not going to happen. We are open to ideas, assistance, constructive criticism. We do not have all the answers but we are doing our best to make KS proud and future girls wrestling the best we know how at this time.

Ms. Jenni and Coach Ed but he is now snoring....lol
