Female Wrestler Wins by Default

(Des Moines, Iowa) At the state high school wrestling tournament, female Cedar Falls freshman Cassy Herkelman won her first match by default.

Sophomore Joel Northup of Linn-Mar High said he wouldn't wrestle Herkelman because it's "not how you treat a girl."

Herkelman and Megan Black, an Ottumwa sophomore, made history this year by qualifying for the state tournament.
