New to Burke will be Girls Wrestling.
There are over 250 girls participating on all girls wrestling teams. Girls wrestling is an emerging sport in the state of Nebraska and only needs to grow in numbers in order to become a fully sanctioned sport in Nebraska. The times of girls needing to wrestling on the boys teams is over giving them and equal chance at becoming successful in the sport. Many NAIA and NCAA women’s teams have emerged over the last several years allowing for many more scholarship opportunities and many more opportunities for girls to attend college on scholarship.
I strongly believe that wrestling instills discipline in anyone who steps onto the mat. There is a strong sense of belonging when joining a wrestling team. The addition of this sport at Burke High School will help those who join find a sense of belonging and support in the school.
