“Amanda has helped pave the way for girls wrestling at Edison. She was the only girl on the team last year and definitely had to overcome some adversity in the beginning of the year. By season’s end, Amanda had changed the way her teammates perceived girls wrestling. Now, Edison Wrestling has more girls than boys, in large part thanks to Amanda.” – Coach Nick Cegelski
