ADAMS V. BAKER
919 F.Supp. 1496 (Kansas, 1996)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over wrestling tryout by a female
FACTS: Adams (P) was a fifteen-year-old female and freshman at Valley Center High School.
D was the school district, the school board, and the superintendent and others. When P was
in the eighth grade P was a member of the Junior High School Wrestling team. P had a record
of 5-3 of which three of the wins came by forfeit because some boys refused to compete
against a girl in wrestling. P lost one match to another female wrestler. P sought to try
out for the High School team and was prohibited from doing so because of her gender. P has
the same coach this year as last year when she wrestled in Junior High. P sued under 42
U.S.C. 1983 and alleged that her right to equal protection was violated. P sought an
injunction and money damages. The court held a hearing on December 5-6 and at the close of
that hearing issued a TRO requiring either Ds allow P to try out or to discontinue the
wrestling program for male students. The order has been extended three times by consent of
the parties and is about to expire on February 2, 1996. This matter came up for a
preliminary injunction.
