This is cool. Would like to see PSU do the same - would help with Title IX and give tough Pa girls a great sports outlet.

In our district in northeast Iowa we have a female wrestler and she's good.

They have 2 really good girls lined up to go there. They invited my kid to join the team a couple of weeks ago, but she declined. She would be a great wrestler Oh well, guess I have to figure out these rules in Field Hockey.

I also would like to see it. A number of high schools in PA have girls in the lineup. From your old stomping grounds, Interboro has a girl that has made it to Regionals, but not to States. That said, I'm not sure that such a program would help with Title IX, but I don't know all the intricacies of Title IX rules. The NCAA does not sponsor a Championship for Women's Wrestling (WCWA is the governing body for women's college wrestling), so I don't know if athletes in such a program would count for Title IX reasons.

Benton (Zain , Hughes brothers) , has a really good girl wrestler, Val Rae Baker. She has pinned quite a few boys this year. Believe she made a Cadet world team at some point.

She is one of the 2 girls they want to get into the program.

well, you need to be a tad more specific.

in the PIAA, this is an issue, and there are guys that do play field hockey, though the numbers doing so are very, very small.

Wyoming Seminary is not a member of the PIAA, so they do not follow PIAA rules.

as for histone's daughter, she's a darn good GK, so I doubt she has to worry about a boy trying to play GK on her team, regardless of what school she attends.

Why would that be unfortunate? She plays against guys now. They all seem to have fun playing the sport.

That is nice of you to write Tom.
