She's a seasoned wrestler who has a 20-13 record. She knows what its like to lose.

She just got knocked out of the tournament today after losing her next two matches. The difference is, the guys who beat her will be going on to the semis while the guy who gave up because he didn't want to wrestle a girl gets to go home.

Then she’s a rarity if she’s willing to take the hits.

Most don’t. She’d be better off competing against other girls.

Not so much:

Although the home-schooled sophomore was allowed to compete in the consolations round, due to default and not forfeit, it is possible for him and Herkelman to be matched up again if they both make it to the finals.
