Let’s scrap.
Nugent is a current member of the U23 national team for the United States and a recent graduate of UNC Chapel Hill.

Women’s Wrestling Resources
Resources that Nugent has compiled over the past six years regarding women’s academic and athletic opportunities within wrestling. As a student at Phillips Academy, Marisol was taught the importance of “knowledge & goodness” and believes that education is a critical tool in the development of women’s wrestling. It is important to provide women academic opportunities within the collegiate wrestling sphere to create a generation of alumni with not only high caliber degrees, but careers. She has been lucky to work alongside women at Division 1 Women’s Wrestling and several other organizations that provide valuable resources and data for the sport.

This is a resource guide I put together my senior year of college. Over the past three years, so many girls have contacted me about how to wrestling at the University of North Carolina or schools like it, despite not having a program.
