(The following is a transcription of the full broadcast story)
This is just another day on the mat for Payton Burmeister, where two years ago she didn’t see this coming.
”The story behind it me wanting to start wrestling, I was doing boxing at the time I joked with my brother and said hey what if I did wrestling, he was like ok yes lets do it,”
Grand Ledge high school wrestling team is off to a 21-4 record this season. A big part of that success has been from the only female on the team.
Grand Ledge senior Payton Burmeister didn’t start her wrestling journey till her junior year, and while it was a challenge being the only female, she has now found her groove.
“It’s been fun, it was quite a challenge at first when I joined the team, I was really intimidated, wow I’m the only girl, there is. whole bunch of guys I’m sure they never had this,” Grand Ledge senior Payton Burmeister said.
