Wrestling on the rise in Arkansas, especially among girls

MALVERN, Ark. (KTHV) -- The sport of wrestling has seen its ups and downs over the years. Most recently, it's been the center of attention after it was announced that wrestling would no longer be an Olympic sport. While the debate continues on that issue, the sport itself grows in popularity.

Take downs. Grappling. Pinning your opponent.

"We practice a couple hours a day, five days a week and pretty much year round. We don't take any time off. We're just constantly practicing year round," says Glen Rose High School head coach Doug McGuire.

McGuire is the head wrestling coach at Glen Rose and also coaches kids around the Malvern area at the club level. But there's something that makes this team unique.

"As far as girls, I think it's great. Wrestling is one of the fasting growing sports for women in college. I think there are 12 college teams now with women's wrestling," says McGuire.
