NEW YORK (AP) — When Adeline Gray stepped on the wrestling mat in high school against a male competitor, she got his attention pretty quickly.
She grabbed her opponent, and his "eyes opened up like saucers, like 'holy cow, I've got to fight for my life,'" said her father, George.
Gray is all business on the mat, with a 38-0 winning streak the past two years against women. She started wrestling at 6, first coached by her dad and uncle near Denver, Colorado. She grappled with the boys in youth leagues through high school. Now, the three-time world champion will attempt to win the first gold for U.
