Canandaigua girls wrestling head coach Lauren Lamb — then Lauren Wolfe — first competed at U.S. Nationals in 1990 at age 13. All she wanted to do was wrestle. At that tournament, she counted just 26 girls in the entire competition.
The scene this past Tuesday night at Canandaigua Academy stood in stark contrast, with more girls on the mats that night than at Lamb’s first national tournament.
