Jodie Horger, initially just hoping to positively impact her daughter and Conwell Egan student Julia’s life through wrestling, ended up revolutionizing the landscape for female wrestlers, writes Melissa Hanejko for the Bucks County Courier Times.  

With Julia’s wrestling career facing the challenge of acceptance and competition against boys, Jodie founded Misfits Wrestling in Bensalem, creating a pioneering space dedicated to nurturing female talent in the sport.
