100th girls Wrestling Program Celebrated In Pa.

Submitted by

JORDAN WALTERS

Lawmakers, advocates and stakeholders gathered in Harrisburg on Tuesday, February 21 to celebrate the creation of the 100th girls wrestling program in Pennsylvania.

Rep. Ann Flood (R-Northampton) and Sen. Scott Martin (R-Lancaster/Berks) noted that the creation of 100 programs fulfills the requirement for the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) to sanction the sport statewide.

“I was honored to be a part of this incredible achievement in women’s sports,” said Flood. “While wrestling is traditionally a male-dominated sport, the rise of girl’s high school wrestling is breaking down barriers and creating new opportunities for female athletes.

“Girl’s wrestling has grown immensely in popularity throughout the country, and it is encouraging to see the tremendous evolution in the number of programs created in every corner of the state over the past several years,” Martin said. “I am thankful that so many schools are now giving girls the opportunity to compete and have PIAA-sanctioned championship events in the near future.”

According to the National Wrestling Coaches Association, girls wrestling is one of the fastestgrowing sports in the country at the scholastic and collegiate levels. At the end of 2021, only 31 schools in Pennsylvania had established girls wrestling programs. Fifty-eight more teams were created in 2022 alone, more than doubling the previous number of schools that offered these programs.

“We have momentum. We have energy. Let’s not stop at 100 programs,” said PIAA Executive Director Robert A. Lombardi. “We need more female coaches, officials and administrators. We want this sport to continue to grow and stand the test of time.”

Flood and Martin credited the nonprofit group SanctionPA for supporting the rapid growth of girls wrestling through advocacy efforts, educational resources, promotional materials and collaboration with schools.

“SanctionPA operates under the viewpoint that if you create equitable opportunities for girls athletics, growth will follow. And growth has indeed followed,” said SanctionPA President Brooke Zumas. “We congratulate each and every school and athlete, past and present, who helped pave the pathway for the great sport of girls wrestling in Pennsylvania and we look forward to the sponsorship of this great sport by our state association.”

The news conference was attended by athletes, coaches and athletic directors from numerous Pennsylvania schools who have formed girls wrestling programs, including JP McCaskey High School, Lancaster School District, Penn Manor School District, Souderton High School, Cumberland Valley, North Allegheny, Easton, Pennridge, and more.

“The school district is proud to be the 100th school, but is more proud to stand with all schools and student athletes who can now compete in new opportunities for groundbreaking sports like this,” said Pennridge Athletic Director Scott Hegen. “The district looks forward to more opportunities where students will be able to excel with no limitations of any kind or bias of any kind.”

The Friends of CCTI are busy planning the group’s first fundraiser, a Cinco de Mayo Hoedown on May 5th at Franklin Township Fire Company. Attendees will be treated to a lesson in line-dancing before enjoying the music of Gunslinger Country Band. The event will also feature a basket auction, raffles, and food and drinks for purchase. Admission is $10 and all proceeds will go to the Friends of CCTI Fund.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Friends of CCTI group to help provide extra opportunities and support for students,” said Sharon Alexander, CCCF President. “CCTI prepares its students for the future, teaching academic, technical, and realworld skills. I think there are several CCTI alumni who are working right here in Carbon County who can see the value in supporting an effort like this.”
