Hailey Broderick’s prom date was told she was a two-time state champion wrestler and still thought he could beat her. “I just put him in his place and shoved his face in the ground,” she said. “It was pretty cool.”
Several wrestlers on the team are cheerleaders and dancers, and have grown in confidence through the traditionally male sport.
“I think wrestling has helped me build confidence and that’s what helped me through auditions,” Camargo said. Camargo is one of several on the Grantsville High girls’ wrestling team with some dance background. Junior Nikkole Dong is on the school’s ballroom dance team. Graduating senior Brielle Fawson and junior Hailey Broderick are cheerleaders.
Dong, an eloquent yet soft-spoken 17-year-old, has used dance to express herself since she was about 3. Aside from ballroom dance, she has experience with ballet, contemporary, hip hop and other styles. They’re all stand-ins for her voice. The pair joined around the same time, as did Fawson, who wanted to try wrestling as soon as she saw girls doing it at a meet. It didn’t take long for them to get hooked — and start winning.
Camargo ended up winning first place at her first tournament. When the referee raised her hand in victory, she fell in love with the sport. She took second place in February’s state tournament at 105 pounds. Grantsville High School senior Brielle Fawson, pictured on Thursday, May 4, 2023, found her athleticism in cheerleading to be a big asset in wrestling, winning the 3A state individual championship last year in the 125-pound class.
Hailey Broderick’s prom date was told she was a two-time state champion wrestler and still thought he could beat her. In practice, they’re just teenage girls who discovered a new sport. But what might be occurring as a result is learning that traditional gender roles don’t matter.
