North County freshman Olivia Devine isn't specifically interested in furthering wrestling as a sport for girls. Instead, she's totally focused on making the varsity lineup and making a future for herself in the sport. To do that, the 5-foot-1, 138-pound Devine has her eyes set of getting her weight down to 132 or 126, where she will have a chance at earning a starting spot in a wrestle-off with her teammates. Her coach, Wayne Liddick, describes her as a serious competitor who has been coming to his open-mat nights in the summer for two years with her brother, Dylan, a DeMatha senior who was a state runner-up last year.
