YAKIMA, Wash. -- There was no master plan, no great vision, no enthusiasm.
Only desperation. And from that desperation came greatness.
The Yakima Valley Community College women's wrestling team, started in September, 2008, made history as Washington State's first-ever women's intercollegiate wrestling team.
In making history, the women's team won the national title. This is a story of that team and its historic season.
Yakima Herald-Republic photographer Gordon King followed the YVCC women's wrestling team for over six months as the team came from obscurity to become national champions.
