6/10/2005
Gary Abbott/USA Wrestling

The nation’s best girls high school wrestlers are being honored with the announcement of the fifth annual TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team.

Making the First Team for the third straight year were Caitlyn Chase of Glenbard North High School in Illinois, Chelynne Pringle of Lake Forest High School in Minnesota, Deanna Rix of Marshfield High School in Maine and Na’Tasha Umemoto of David Douglas High School in Oregon. Chase is a junior, while Pringle, Rix and Umemoto are seniors.

TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team is selected by a nationwide panel of wrestling experts. It is the only national all-star team for which female high school wrestlers competing on all four grade levels are eligible. Athletes from across the nation were considered for their achievements in high school wrestling, as well as the major post-season freestyle and folkstyle competitions.

TheMat.com is the official web page of the Amateur Wrestling Alliance, and is one of the leading sports web pages on the internet. ASICS is a national sponsor of USA Wrestling and a major supporter of wrestling at all levels. ASICS has sponsored the nationally respected Asics Tiger High School All-American Team for boys wrestlers for 20 years.

“The ASICS Tiger Corporation is proud to be a sponsor of the All-American wrestling team for girls,” said Neil Duncan, Vice President of TW Promotions which represents ASICS. “We see this sport having a huge potential for growth, and look forward to the day when many high schools and colleges across the country offer wrestling programs for the female athlete. These are our future Olympians in women’s wrestling.”

Members of the First Team, as well as TheMat.com/ASICS Wrestler of the Year, will be honored prior to the finals of the ASICS/Vaughan Junior National Championships July 30 at Fargo, N.D.

California was the only state that had two girls make the First Team. Earning First Team honors from California were Tatiana Padilla of Northview High School and Jackie Cataline of Norco High School.

Seven members of the First Team members are nationally ranked on the Senior level in freestyle wrestling, competing against the best women wrestlers of all ages.

Chase was the highest place winner at the U.S. Senior Nationals this year, placing second at the 48 kg/105.5 lbs. division. Others who earned All-American honors on the Senior level this year were Pringle, Rix, Cataline, Umemoto, Melissa Simmons of Ridgefield High School in Washington and Stefenie Shaw of Waterford High School in Connecticut.

The First Team featured 10 wrestlers who won national scholastic-style titles this year, by claiming gold medals at the 2005 USGWA National Championships in Michigan. The USGWA National champions on the First Team were Rix, Simmons, Umemoto, Pringle, Padilla, Nicole Darrow of Mt. Greylock High School in Massachusetts, Juanita Russell of Galway Central High School in New York, Vanessa Oswalt of Mount Vernon High School in Ohio, Joey Miller of Woodward High School in Oklahoma and Sarah Peasley, a homeschooled student from Escanaba, Michigan

Nine of the First Team members won USA Wrestling age-group national titles over the last year: Rix, Chase, Cataline, Simmons, Umemoto, Darrow, Russell, Padilla and Michaela Hutchison of Skyview High School in Alaska.

First Team members Rix and Hutchison made national news by placing second in their state high school wrestling championships competing against boys. Miller placed fourth in her state high school championship wrestling against boys.

In addition to the four athletes who make the First Team for the third time, four girls also made the First Team for the second straight year: Shaw, Darrow, Russell and Oswalt.

The First Team featured six seniors, five juniors and three freshmen. In total, 13 states were represented on the First Team.

The Second Team was also star-studded, led by USGWA National Champions Elena Priozhkov of Greenfield High School in Massachusetts, Nicole Woody of Arundel High School in Maryland, Amnorina Porter of Standish-Sterling High School in Michigan and Jessica Jauck of Ramona High School in California. USA Wrestling age-group national champions on the Second Team include Woody, Alyssa Lampe of Tomahawk High School in Wisconsin and Rachael Holthaus of Little Falls High School in Minnesota.

The Third Team featured three athletes from the state of California: Sheila McCabe of Valhalla High School, Katherine Fulp-Allen of Half Moon Bay High School and Carla O’Connell of Redondo Beach High School.

As the National Federation of State High Schools has yet to determine specific weight classes for girls wrestling, the athletes were selected based solely on achievement and ability. The top 14 athletes were named to the First Team, the second 14 athletes were named to the Second Team and the third 14 athletes were selected to the Third Team. Thirty athletes were named as Honorable Mention. An effort was made to make a reasonable spread of weights on each team. If the National Federation sets specific girls weight classes in the future, the selection committee will consider using those weight classes for the selection criteria at that time.

For the TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team, athletes were identified in three weight ranges: Light (100-121 pounds); Middle (122-140 pounds); Upper (141 pounds and above).

In total, 72 wrestlers were selected to TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team. California led all states with 10 selections, followed by Michigan with seven, Washington with six and Hawaii and Texas with five.

A total of 26 states were represented on the All-American Team. The team included 35 seniors, 21 juniors, eight sophomores and eight freshmen.

Women’s wrestling is one of the fastest growing sports among youth sports for women. Women’s wrestling was the only new sport at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Ga. There are an estimated 5,500 girls competing on the high school level in the United States today, and the number has grown each year for the last dozen years. A number of colleges have begun to add women’s wrestling on the varsity and club level across the nation.

TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team will be prominently featured on TheMat.com web page, as well as in a new poster, developed by ASICS and USA Wrestling.
