Olympic Gold medalist Helen Maroulis might be the face of female wrestling in the United States, but around the country there are young girls who are working towards the same goal: Promoting the sport and letting everyone know girls can succeed on the mat.
Two of those young trailblazers are right here in the Finger Lakes — Marcus Whitman's Katlin Wells and Penn Yan's Cassie Lafler.
