Perry High School freshman Shi'anna Bamba, the sole female wrestler at the school, warms up and practices with her teammates Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2020. Shi'anna recently competed in the inaugural Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches Association girls state tournament last weekend in Hilliard. Bamba took fifth place in the event out of over 250 wrestlers.
Shi'anna and her teammates practice throwing techniques on each other.
Warm-ups for practice include jogging, tumbling and other cardio exercises to loosen up their muscles. One of the seniors calls out exercises as they jog.
Tumbling is part of the warm-up exercises for Shi'anna and her team. Most of these are to practice falling properly to avoid injury in a match.
