03.14.2005:Female High School Wrestler Uses Hips and Strong Quads

One of these wrestlers has a certain physical advantage over the other - hips. And that's not all this girl uses to her advantage. “I have big quads and can use them to squeeze guys.” Fifteen-year-old Firen Gassman has been wrestling since she was 9-years-old. She gave up ballet to follow in her brothers footsteps. Then she signed up for Herndon High School's wrestling team as a freshman. Firen is now the first female wrestler to make it to the Virginia State Championships. “When I did a throw, the crowd went crazy.” She's happy to be a pioneer for women in a sport, but says she gets a little embarrassed at all the attention.
