Ripley's trailblazing second title followed her win at the inaugural Girls Division State Wrestling Championship in the 107-pound weight class, ABC News reported.

Last Saturday, in preparation for competing in the boys' 113-pound class for the Class B state title, Ripley weight-trained and said he gained 6 pounds in a few days, the newspaper reported. Her efforts reportedly paid off, as she defeated her male opponents from Belfast Area High School to win the title.

“I was really excited when we won last year. It was my first time winning. And this year, I was still really excited,” Ripley said, adding that the back-to-back wins are due to “the girls working so hard.” He reportedly added that it shows.

“I think women's wrestling is really exploding right now,” Jason Yates, Ripley's coach and stepfather, told ABC News. “More and more college teams are adopting the program, and it gets more girls involved in the sport, and the more athletes we get, the better they do. And , quite frankly, there are a lot of good female wrestlers out there right now.”

Ripley said she was inspired by her stepfather and twin brother Gavin Ripley, who won his third consecutive 132-pound high school wrestling championship last weekend, the newspaper reported.

Ripley reportedly said of Gavin, “He's definitely been a big influence on me.'' “He's the guy to beat in the practice room.”

Another female wrestler, senior Audrey Jimenez, became the first female wrestler to win the AIA Arizona High School State Wrestling Championship title in the boys 107-pound weight class, according to ABC News.
