		<description><![CDATA[There's been a furor over the decision not to guarantee wrestling a spot in the 2020 Olympics. Rightly so. I know first-hand what the sport does for young men (including my three sons) and an increasing number of young women. Fortunately, the decision is not final. It's time to speak out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am proud to be a Wrestling Mom.  An All In Wrestling Mom.  My two sons have always been active in sports.  Each sport has value and teaches its own lessons.  Unlike other sports, wrestling lessons, both physical and mental benefit every sport and benefit life in general.  What the t-shirts say is true, “Once you have been a wrestler, everything else is easy.”

And tell your sisters, mom, stepmothers, mothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces, lovers, friends and coworkers-- hell, even tell the women next to you on the bus-- to get a mammogram.  Because it could save her life. As it did mine.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every year thousands of wrestlers from all over the country come to Fargo, ND to battle for the stop sign – the plaque that says you are the best high school wrestler at your weight in either Greco Roman or Freestyle in the nation. 

For four years Sam has come to Fargo and he’d gotten very close six times, but he’d never gone home with the stop sign - until now.

		<description><![CDATA[At 20, Ellis is the youngest member of the Olympic wrestling team and one of the most successful wrestlers in the wrestling room coached by Mike Powell. All of us who watched Ellis' career bloom from 2005-2009 can recall Coach Powell kissing Ellis on the top of the head before each match. And then Ellis would go out and annihilate his opponent.
