Seymour defeated Webb, Maryville, Sevier County and Williamsburg to win their pool.

McCroskey - Geren at 125 was the best match.

After reading through all the posts on this subject I had to reply. I have been involved with wrestling for over 12 years with 3 sons. It seems that no one takes a real interest in a girl wrestler until she wins. I have lived in Alaska twice and been involved with wrestling there as well. The sport is just as competitive as anywhere else in the USA and there have been a lot of talented wrestlers come out of the state. I think the key point to the article about Micheala is that she won and she won at state. How many boys can say the same? Irregardless of whether she is boy or a girl she did something that every wrestler dreams of doing - what higher goal can there be? Not only did she win but she won as a sophomore and won what would seem to have been a tough match, an escape scored with 15 seconds left! Her older brother Eli became a 4 time state champ that day as well! If you read the article on the Anchorage Daily News website http://www.adn.com/sports/story/7433902p-7330454c.html you will see that they say "Hutchison was born to wrestle. She's one of 10 children and the third in her family to win a state title, joining brothers Zeb and Eli." She also has a sister who placed third in state 6 years ago. Seem like this is one talented family. We don't have to agree with girls being in a "man's sport" but what we do have to do is support those girls who are brave enough to try it and to give accolades to those who succeed at the unthinkable, like winning state. As Kent Bailo, director of the U.S. Girls Wresting Association quoted in the article "he believes Hutchison's victory will help girls wrestling become a varsity sport. He estimates 4,000 to 5,000 girls wrestle in high schools nationwide. Yet, only Hawaii and Texas currently offer it as a girls sport. But Alaska might be next." Girls participating and doing well in the sport will only help get these girls teams of their own. Would any of us have cared about the Colony boy that Michaela beat at 103 if he had won state? Would it have been covered on national news and be all over the internet? I think not.
