Teague and Steve are joined by WWF Women's Director Laura Bartoszek, Growth and Development Coordinator Gabby Lord-Klein, and North Central All-American Mateah Roehl to talk all things women's wrestling in Wisconsin! We go over some results for Women's Folkstyle State, talk college wrestling opportunities for girls, what colleges look for in a person, and how each individual can find a college that fits their interests and needs. We also discuss the Women's State Tournament taking place next year, and what the future of women's wrestling  looks like both at the high school level in Wisconsin and the college level!
