An Arizona teen became the first female to ever win a high school wrestling state title while competing against boys this past weekend.

Audrey Jimenez, an 18-year-old from Sunnyside High School in Tucson,  in the 106-pound weight class, and she can forever call herself a state champion.

"The crowd was just super crazy," Jimenez told Scripps News Phoenix. "So that's what made it seem more of like, 'Oh wow, like I just won state.'"

Now, Jimenez is used to winning state titles in her high school career, but it always came against girls. For the past three years, she's been required to compete against girls despite facing boys during the regular season.

This year, however, her coaches asked the Arizona Interscholastic Association to allow Jimenez to compete against boys in the state tournament, which was granted.

Strange. Where is the uproar over women destroying men's sports? Just a little sarcasm. I wish Audrey continued success.

Yeah, right?

I've seen high school women swimmers headed to Div 1 swim markedly faster than boys headed to Div 3; said boys competing under Title IX.
