My name is Bianca Marmolejo. I am twelve years old. I was born in Denver, Colorado. I have lived in Las Vegas for the last five years. I have three brothers; Marcus, Dominic, and Devon. I started wrestling in 2022, but I broke my hand and had to sit out most of last year. I wrestle for Aniciete Training Club. The coaches there are the best, and they always take the time to make sure the wrestlers understand, and they are also super nice.
 
Even though I’ve been wrestling a short time, it has been in my life since I was born because my brothers wrestle too. I’ve done other sports like teeball, basketball and cheer, but wrestling is my favorite and also the toughest to do. The best part about wrestling is that I get to do it alongside my brother Dominic. Also the feeling when you get your hand raised is the best.
 
My favorite tournament so far is Cosmic Clash in Denver because we wrestled in black light, and it looked super cool. I also double bracketed and double-medaled there. I love how girls wrestling has grown so much lately because it shows girls can do anything no matter how hard it can be. I love to show the younger girls that they can have the same success as any boy.
 
My goals are to keep improving, win a State and National title and to keep growing girls wrestling, and hopefully be a role-model for the future girls to come. School is also very important to me because you need your education to succeed in life. I can’t wait for what is ahead for me, but my parents always tell us to appreciate the process, and I do for sure.
