The first ASICS-Vaughan Junior Nationals for girls featured 103 entries from 24  states, making it the largest age-group national women's tournament ever hosted by USA Wrestling.     The tournament is being held alongside the ASICS-Vaughan Junior and Cadet Nationals for boys, at the FargoDome on the campus of North Dakota State Univ. in Fargo, N.D.    What was especially encouraging was the quality of the athletes entered. Of the 14 girls selected for the First Team of TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Team this year, 12 were entered in the inaugural Junior Nationals in Fargo, N.D.     This group of TheMat.com/ASICS First Team members includes:  101 - Sara Fulp Allen of California, Gina Heinzelman of Michigan   110 - Malinda Ripley of California, Mary Kelly of Illinois   128 - Brooke Bogren of Kansas, Alaina Berube of Michigan, Shawn Swartzlender of Oregon   138 - Brandy Rosenbrock of Michigan, Wendy Casey of New York   150 - Ali Bernard of Minnesota   165 - Samantha Lang of Oregon  175 - Alicia Mena of Minnesota     Special recognition goes to Team California, which had the largest women's team featuring 21 athletes. Michigan, Minnesota and Texas brought teams of 10 athletes or more.     The first match in Junior Nationals girls history featured Na'Tasha Umemoto of Oregon against Lisa Paquette of New York at 110 pounds. Umemoto secured a headlock and won the bout by pin in just 19 seconds.    A number of the Olympic-level women athletes volunteered to coach the state teams. Kristie Marano, a 2000 World Champion and five-time World medalist, is one of the New York coaches. Julie Gonzalez, a U.S. Nationals finalist a number of times, is on the California coaching staff. Rachel Glogowski, a U.S. Nationals placerwinner, is helping coach the Pennsylvania team.    Only nine athletes will earn the recognition of champions at the first ASICS-Vaughan Junior Nationals for girls. Years from today, these pioneer women athletes will be remembered as those who helped build a tradition for girls wrestling as part of the Junior Nationals, the most prestigious youth wrestling event in the United States.     "This is historic," said Terry Steiner, USA Wrestling's National Women's Coach. "It's a start for everything. Look where the Junior Nationals for boys started back in 1971. This is the start of something big. We need to start somewhere."
