Women’s wrestling has been on up recently, in both Wisconsin and the world. The NCAA announced the addition of a women’s wrestling national championship in July, fueled by public support and the rising level of talent in girls youth wrestling.

One of Wisconsin’s many club sports is wrestling. While it is a smaller club, a few of their members are women.

The club has been practicing this fall, with more opportunities for competitions coming up in the spring.
