Wrestling Through Girlhood Story aired: Monday, December 13, 2004
Should girls be allowed to wrestle boys? Well that question spawns a wide range of questions from "sure why not" to "wrestling is so unladylike." To Tara Neal the answer can only be a definitive "yes."
Tara fought the toughest battle in her young wrestling career a few years ago when she was just 13. That when she was told by Texas school authorities that it would be the last year she could compete against the boys and after that, it was girls only. The ups and downs Tara fought that year are the subject of the documentary "Girl Wrestler" which airs tonight on public television's program Independent Lens.
