AOW 2.4 - 2.10 BOYS WRESTLING: Damari is the spark plug that inspires individual and team success. Looking forward to next season, as the junior and captain made it clear that his goals on the mat are bigger than his own personal achievements. He wants to be crowned UEC Champion.
AOW 2.4 - 2.10 GIRLS WRESTLING: Susan is a freshman and a first-year wrestler. Throughout the season Susan has improved tremendously. At the Conference tournament, Susan took 2nd place in the 100 lb weight class and was an IHSA Sectional Alternate.
Overall, sending four of our best starters to the IHSA Sectional Championship Finals with three of them finishing in the top 100 and one in top 75 in the state is a great accomplishment. It is a season that should be celebrated and is telling of the program contiued success 🙌
