Erin DiMeglio is a history-making badass.
Erin DiMeglio is a senior at Florida's South Plantation High School. She's 5'4", 140lbs, and most notably, the third-string quarterback on her school's football team. DiMeglio, who was already the starting point guard for the girl's basketball team and the quarterback for a girls' flag football team, started practicing with the boys earlier this spring.
According to People, it was Doug Gatewood, the coach of both her flag team and the boys' varsity squad, who invited her to come to a spring workout. By the end of the first practice, she was asking if she could come back the next day.
"I said, 'Sure, but you're not playing,' " Gatewood said. "She wore me down..."
Her campaign to stick around paid off earlier this season when she entered a game late in the fourth quarter, becoming the state's first female quarterback.
