At first I thought she made it to "THE finals match". Regardless, a great accomplishment. Ohio had one girl make it to the tournament and win a match, but never had one place.

Is this good, bad, or indifferent for the sport of wrestling?

I wish her the best of luck in her dream of wrestling for the USA in the 2016 olympics.

any high school student wrestling is good, no matter who they are.

Favorite line of the whole article:

"I don't want to be treated like a girl. I want to be treated like any other wrestler,"

How can this be bad for the sport?

Go for it, or just transfer to KY. :)

I would like to think it is good for the sport. Maybe encouraging other girls to give it a shot, but I doubt that is the case. The only bad I can see is a bit of damaged ego, but that will heal. As far as indifferent...in the day of equality, I guess this shouldn't be viewed as anything special. (stretching it on the last one.)

Going back to the good. If more girls do give wrestling a shot, it may encourage more college schools to sponsor women's teams. I think that would be good for the sport for a couple reasons. More college opportunities may encourage more girls to give it a shot in HS. (kind of a spiral effect....) Second, it could alleviate some of the Title IV pressure felt by many D1 mens wrestling programs by adding another sport for females.
