canada games

Gaetz Brook junior high in Nova Scotia, Canada may be where Jillian Mosher, 16, spends her school year, but the wrestling mat is where she does her schooling. She has been training for three years and entering weekend tournaments before she stepped on the mat at the Canada Summer Games.

Her debut at the Canada Games earned Jillian with the first medal awarded to a female in wrestling. Jillian competed in the 90-kg weight class and walked away with the bronze. She tried a variety of sports throughout the years but was drawn to wrestling.

“I liked it because it was so individual. If you messed up, it was your own fault. You have to work hard for yourself. …It’s your own work, your own mental ability.” -Jillian Mosher
