We have 5 women currently in our program at Olathe North who are making great strides and learning fast. While I was the head coach at DeSoto HS I also coached 5 young women over my two seasons there and of them Nichole Husted signed with Missouri Valley to wrestle.

I hope to see the numbers continue to grow, and hopefully one day see Womens High School Wrestling as an actual program as it is for the men. But right now, we are in the beginning phases, and the more experience and mat time you young women get (regardless if it is against men or women) will increase your chances to take your skills to a higher level where you will be competing completely with other women.

Good luck to all of you this season and continue to get better. That is the main purpose of this sport: to improve ourselves every day mentally and physically.
