Cleveland, TN-(WDEF-TV) Cleveland High School’s Piper Fowler will be representing the United States in wrestling in the under 17 World Championships. News 12’s Brian Armstrong hears from the first girl from Tennessee to win the qualification tournament.

I’ve never experienced anything like this. It’s going to be an amazing experience.

Cleveland’s Piper Fowler will be representing the United States in wrestling in the under 17 World Championships inIstanbul, Turkey, starting at the end of July.

Fowler: “Exciting to be able to win and feel what it was like to win finally. I think that this year has been an amazing year for me, and I’m just excited.

Fowler lost in the finals of the tournament last year and he used that loss to fuel her for this season.

Said Fowler: “Losing is never fun, but it’s good for you. You learn from it and you get better from it, and then you’re able to improve next time and make those teams and win those tournaments or place at those tournaments. Whatever your goal is.

Her dream of her representing the USA will soon become a reality and she honestly doesn’t know what it’ll feel like when it does actually happen.

Said Fowler: “There’s a lot of different things that you think that it’s going to be like, what it’s going to feel like, but you never know until you’re actually there and you actually experience it.

And now she has a new goal to win in a US singlet.
