This year the Lincoln-Way Wrestling program proudly announced the first-ever Lincoln-Way girls wrestling team. Junior Kaitlyn Erdakos expresses her opinion on there being an official girls wrestling program this year when stating, “I feel that having a girls wrestling program is one of the best things to come to our school. We are here to prove ourselves and make each other better people along the way so it is a really great experience.” Kaitlyn explains some of the differences from last year’s program and this year’s program now that there is a girls’ team, “There are many differences from last year to this year. Last year we had limited girls, so there was also limited support at meets and practices, but this year there are many girls, and they will stand by your side through thick and thin, which is incredible to see.” She explains the impact that the Lincoln-Way Wrestling program has had on her – an overall positive experience! Kaitlyn further explains the positive environment that she is surrounded with through this program: “My experience through the Lincoln-Way girls’ program has been amazing. We have already begun to learn so much and create so many new relationships and memories that will stick forever.” Overall, the Lincoln-Way girls Wrestling Program has brought many girls together who have similar interests, while working towards a common goal. Since last year, many girls have joined the wrestling program!
