Courtney Jackson can wrestle. The 9-year-old proved it last year when she beat the boys on her way to first place at a tournament in Orem.
This year, the rules changed. This year, Courtney's mother said, girls were prohibited from grappling with the opposite sex.
Now the mother, Kristi Jones, and the mom of another young girl who wanted to wrestle in the tournament are asking the American Civil Liberties Union for advice.
Tournament director Cole Kelley said he was worried parents of some boys might be unwilling to have their sons wrestle against a girl.
"It happens frequently in the sport," Kelley said. "There are people that are uncomfortable with it, and I understand why they would be uncomfortable. "
