Deanna Rix

Deanna Rix is an American female wrestler originally from South Berwick, Maine, and noted in the media for her success wrestling against girls and boys in State and National competitions.

Wrestling career

Rix has shown success wrestling both girls and boys. Against girls, she won three consecutive Junior Girls National Championships (2003-2005), finishing sixth at the 2005 Senior Women's National Championships, second at the 2005 Body Bar Senior Nationals, and fourth at the 2003 Women's World Championships.

Wrestling for Marshwood High School,[1] she won the 100th match of her high school career in January 2005; all her high school victories were against boys. She made national headlines when she made it to the finals of the Class A State Wrestling championship in Maine, being profiled in USA Today (March 4, 2005) and in an article distributed by the Associated Press to newspapers nationwide. Poised to become the first female in U.S. history to win a State wrestling championship against boys, she ultimately lost the match with four seconds remaining in double overtime against Shane Leadbetter, and so finished second in State.

At the 2005 Junior National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota, she entered the boys Greco-Roman division, wrestling at 130 lb., and handily defeated her first two opponents (10-0, and pin at 1:14), before losing her third match 3-0 and ultimately pulling out with a minor hand injury. When asked by a reporter whether she preferred wrestling boys or girls, she replied that she preferred wrestling boys because "beating them is more fun."

gollark: With the other mods I at least have to expend a bit of intellectual effort on setting up a small production chain to make gravel and feed it to sieves and craft pieces into ore (and then my entire ore processing system is quite complex but that's not needed).
gollark: Exactly!
gollark: The solar panels are just multiblocks which sit there making arbitrary amounts of power for no particular reason. There's a void *resource* miner which is just the void ore miner but for grass and obsidian and stuff, which is also a boring way to avoid making any production for diverse arbitrary resources you might need but is also required for the ET stuff because it makes "mica".
gollark: The advanced ones are an add-on.
gollark: The pack's overall tiers at least require fairly diverse things on each tier. The inscribers would, if I cared about that, be interesting to automate through ME subnetting and such. Thermal Expansion has fairly weak gating (internally) behind hardened glass stuff.
