Public Works crew installs new signage, the kiosk, and heat-thermal striping on Thursday morning as the City of Hood River prepares for
a change in the parking system at the Cascade Avenue parking lot — at Fifth and Cascade across the street from the Post Office — to
a shared parking lot effective June 1. The new design will be pay to park on the north half (at right), meaning users purchase a ticket at
the blue pay kiosk in the center of the lot. Meanwhile, monthly parking permits only will be allowed on the south half (at left). You may
purchase a permit at City Administration; for details call the Parking Department at 541-386-1488, option 2.

WRESTLERS Joanna Endow, left, Payton Rigert and Sarah Sullenger
at an earlier meet this year.
By PAYTON RIGERT
News intern
Over spring break, I went
on a trip to visit colleges that
offered women’s wrestling.
While I was touring around
Missouri and Kentucky, I
learned about a tournament
called Body Bar National
Women’s Wrestling Tourna-
ment that is in Dallas, Texas.
The tournament is consid-
ered one of the toughest
women’s tournaments in the
United States. If you place
first, you earn a spot on the
Junior or Cadet Internation-
al Wrestling Team and sec-
ond place is a spot on the
Pan-American team. I knew
that this was the tournament
that I wanted to attend.
When I came back from
my college visit, I went
straight to Coach Trent
Kroll. I told him about my
fantastic plan that we should
all pack up and go to Texas
for Body Bar. At first, he was-
n’t sure if I was serious. I
kept coming back and then
suddenly, we had made to
plans to go to Texas!
Joanna Endow and Sarah
Sullenger would also be join-
ing us, along with Coach
Kroll’s youngest daughter
and my mom. There were no
words to express my excite-
ment. We took a plane,
Thursday night, from Port-
land, to Dallas and stepped
into a thick blanket of
humid weather. On Friday,
our first day there, we went
to the JFK Memorial Muse-
um and a cattle ranch. Later
that night, Joanna and Sarah
weighed in for their competi-
tion the next day.
Stepping into a room that
is just filled to the brim with
women’s wrestlers is exhila-
rating. In Oregon, we don’t
have tour naments where
over 300 women are in atten-
dance. We got to talk with
women wrestling in college
and some Olympic athletes.
It was inspiring to hear sto-
ries from women who had
the same experiences as us.
After Joanna and Sarah
wrestled, I weighed-in. I am
considered a FILA Junior,
which means that I was
wrestling up to college fresh-
man. This was a great oppor-
tunity for me. I got to see how
I would match up compared
to colle ge athletes. The
wrestling was fun and I
learned a lot even though it
didn’t go as well as I had
hoped.
The tournament wasn’t
just about competing. It was
really about learning more
about the opportunities out
there and to meet some phe-
nomenal women’s wrestlers.
This was the first time that
the Hood River Valley
Wrestling Women’s Team
had traveled to such a tour-
nament and it helped us to
grow as wrestlers.
Stepping out on the mat
and wrestling women from
all around the nation was an
amazing opportunity for us.
There is nothing better than
seeing such a large group of
women who love wrestling
just as much as I do.
All of us can’t wait for
next year.
