Granville High's Girls' Wrestling Team Celebrates Two Successful Years

Two years ago, Granville Junior/Senior High School in New York State formed its first girls' wrestling team. This addition expanded the school's athletic programs, offering a new sport for female students. With the help of dedicated coaches, the team has grown in both size and skill, becoming a strong presence in local wrestling competitions.

Coach Steve Palmer has played a key role in developing the team. He noted that they were among the first all-girls wrestling teams in the state and the first to win the Adirondack League Championship and participate at the state level. These achievements have raised expectations for female athletes at Granville.

The team includes students from grades 7 through 12, creating a mix of young athletes with different levels of experience. The community has shown strong support for the initiative, which has been vital for the team's success.

Tenth grader Madelaine Wilson, participating in her first season, has found the sport challenging but rewarding. Senior Melissa Beaver, with previous exposure to wrestling, returned to the sport in her last year of school and appreciated the team's support.
