Heaven Fitch beat her rival in the 106-pound weight class and became the first female to win a high school wrestling state championship in North Carolina, according to the North Carolina High School Athletic Association

For a moment, it looked like Heaven Fitch was about to lose. The teen wrestling phenom was on the mat under her opponent in the last few seconds of the state championship match.

That was until she flipped out from underneath him in a backward somersault and quickly scooted around to regain the upper hand. Fitch held him on the mat until the referee threw up his hand. She won with an 11-3 major decision, CNN affiliate WRAL reported. Last weekend, Fitch became the first female wrestler to win an individual state championship, according to the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.

2nd, 3rd and 4th places guys didn’t look happy at all! 😂😂😂😂

7st7? Presumably fighting anorexics

How awesome is she ? Well done .

Got to be a reason woman wants to ape men in sports. Be more female. ... just saying

cmarinucci You go, Girl! Outstanding season and championship, Heaven! Love your discipline and drive! The future is yours! Dream big and make it happen!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

So is this a real girl, a boy claiming to be a girl, or a girl acting like a boy? Details matter these days.

sarahlucy15 any relation? Fair play to her!

we let you win this time but don't think you would make it next・・・・・

خوبصورت و طاقتور خاتون۔

Good on you .

Awesome.

Awesome!

Go on girl love to see that as a Male sports fan, she whooping that ass dishing out the Ls like, Shame our English College's dont have a sports program like the USA does we would produce so many more great athletes

Enjoyment will be short lived. Boys claiming to be girls will be competing

I'm going to guess that this article will have much more positive responses than the article on the young transgender girl who wanted to wrestle with girls a few weeks ago. Those said it was impossible as a reminder.

Awesome!

If she's a real female, those boys are pathetic.

I would have lost by scissor-lock submission.

What a badass!

😏

Good for you, congrats!

Hardcore

Congrats to her!! But Please check on that guy she beat

I dated a female wrestler in high school. She couldn't wrestle worth a darn but boy you should've seen her box!

Badass by Heaven Faith 💪🏼💪🏼. Shame on you for the first two paragraphs. She dominated the match. There was a reversal at the end, but she was up 9-3. Please stop twisting the dang truth!! You could’ve told the truth about her domination and it would’ve been great.

Congrats Heaven! wrestlethegap

is a combat sport involving grappling-type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds.

Is she biological female or transgender 🤷‍♀️

She out there whooping ass

In Greensboro at the Gbocoliseum!!

Great news! Now to make all teams co-ed, so trans athlete's can compete fairly. Think about all the savings, only having one team for all different sports. No more complaints from women about trans athlete's. True equality, let the best partake.

Wrestling is all about technique and dedication!

I write essays CHEAP💯

I wanna get wrestled to the ground by her.

She can wrestle me anytime... ;P 3

YASSS!!!!!!!!!

That guy was a wuss. Girl power 😝

Her opponent was worried about being “me too-Ed”
