I just joined this group, so I wanted to say hi to everyone. Erin, I
found a website for a Portland girls wrestling club:

Hope it helps.

Like I said, I'm new around here. My name is Tabitha. I wrestled
for my high school my senior year. I decided not wrestle this year
in college, partly because I wanted to focus on school, but I was
also a little scared =)

However, I've been feeling pretty antsy lately, and I want to get
back into it. I'd love to go to the Olympics, but that would pretty
tough, especially seeing as how I've been off the mat for about a
year, and have never done freestyle. Luckily, there's a local club,
so I'll be starting over there this month.

I like wrestling because it's an interesting mix of individual and
team effort. You're out there by yourself, testing your muscles,
your preparation (mental and physical), against your opponent, but
you're welcomed back to your team, with a pat on the back if things
didn't go as well as you'd wanted, and a jubilant smile if they did.

It's tough but...aaahhhh. It's magnificent.

Tabitha
