LAKE COUNTY GIRLS INVITE

The 2026 Lake County Girls Invite, delayed until Monday night at host Zion-Benton, would provide plenty of back-and-forth challenges on the leaderboard with several lead changes keeping fan interest at a high level.

With over one dozen returning state qualifiers all throughout the weight divisions, it was no surprise that seven teams found their way into the top five – all chasing eventual tourney champion Antioch.

The Sequoits would open a 10.5 lead midway through the semi-finals, and see their advantage shrink by three (103.5-95.0) to Warren before slowly pulling away from the field.

The Sequoits would end with 132.0 overall points, 12 more than Stevenson (120.5) who would edge both Lake Zurich and Warren and their 120.0 points, with Grant (117.0) fifth.

“The girls worked very hard this season leading up to this tournament,” Antioch head coach Roland Vazquez said. “Many of the same girls at this tournament will also compete at regionals so it was a good measuring tool to see where everyone is at.

“Our team stepped up to the challenge, and came home with the hardware. It was not an easy task to accomplish to win here with such great competition that we have in Lake County.”

1st: Antioch (132.0)

2025 state qualifiers Sasha Johnson (140, 32-6) and Josie Blau (170, 31-6) won their second straight Lake County Invite crowns, while 2025 champ London Lloyd was second at 105 pounds.

Dylylah Patterson (125) finished second, with the trio of Alyana Cotton (115), Magdelyn Brough (130) and Rylee Dunlavy (145) all earning fourth-place medals.

The Sequoits amassed a tourney-best 218 total match points along the way.

“Sasha Johnson is a returning sectional qualifier, who has a goal of getting downstate,” Vazquez said. “She has been very focused during the past couple of weeks, understanding that the state series is approaching, and tonight she brought her ‘A’ game and was able to pull off a win against a very good opponent.

“Josie (Blau) is also a 2025 sectional qualifier whose goal is to make it to state. She also has been working hard, and her determination to win another Lake County Invite title against a great opponent (Warren’s Hanna Bairstow) helped her finish a very close match for the win.”

2nd: Stevenson (120.5)

Stevenson would claim a tourney-high three individual champions on this night in Athena Zappas (115, 27-1), Karina Lojowski (135, 24-1) and Isabel Hilinski (115, 15-4). Zappas would share top honors for the most team points (26) with Gianna Arzer (26-0) from Grayslake Central.

Nastasia Kobets (120) was second, Kaylee Sanchez (170) and Oluwakanyinsola Akinwale fourth at 190 pounds.

3rd: Lake Zurich/Warren (120.0)

Lake Zurich head coach Chad Hay — himself a two-time state champion while at Sandwich and a four-year letter winner at the University of Illinois — led the Conant boys program to a pair of dual-team state tournament appearances, and is now in charge of the Bears’ girls program.

On Monday night, Hay would watch three of his girls, including daughter (Georgia, 120, 24-7) bring back individual championship trophies.

Bayasgalan Battulaga (110, 23-8) and Ti’ara Saunders (230, 22-4) would join their teammates atop the podium, and Alanna Carlberg (135) and Kristyanna Apostol (140) were both fourth overall.

The Bears registered the most pins (17) as a team.

Warren, the 2025 Lake County Invite champions, collected seven top four medals during the course of the action.

Aaliyah Vazquez (115), Tyanna Jackson (140), Ellery Brown (145) and Hanna Bairstow (170) were all second, while senior Jane Kelly earned a third place medal at 135 pounds. Makaylee Welch (155) Kylie Motley (235) were both fourth.

Final Team Results:

Antioch 132.0, Stevenson 120.5, Lake Zurich/Warren 120.0 each, Grant 117.0, Grayslake Central 105.5, Zion-Benton 87.0, Lakes Community 67.0, Grayslake North 59.5, Round Lake 59.0, Waukegan 48.5, Lake Forest 38.0, Mundelein 36.5, Libertyville 25.5, Carmel Catholic 20.5, North Chicago 18.0, Wauconda 17.0.

LAKE COUNTY BOYS INVITE

It was the fight for the big trophy that was expected, with Stevenson and host Grant each taking turns holding the lead only to see the other grab it back all throughout an exciting day in Fox Lake at Benedetti Field House.

The reigning Lake County Invite champions from Grant would trail the Patriots by just six points before the noon hour, then hold the lead first by 11.5 points (175.0-164.5) and then by a scant three points (181.5-178.0) that would disappear just ahead of the final session.

The Patriots would take the lead for good (198.5-195.5) then slowly increase their advantage until the final whistle saw Shawn Kogan (132)  and his teammates finish with 230.0 overall points – 14 more than the Bulldogs’ 216.0.

Wauconda finished third with 140.5 points.

“This is easily the most talented and deep team that I’ve been around in my four years at Stevenson,” said Kogan (23-4), twice a state qualifier and this year the No. 5 man in the state at 132 pounds.

“We have a dynamic group from 106-144, and the guys after that have shown they compete against high-level opponents, which we’ve seen throughout the year,” Kogan said. “I’m confident our upper weight guys will come through when we need them the most.

“We all want to win the first regional team title in program history this weekend at Fremd, so that will be the focus in the room next week.”

1st: Stevenson (230.0)

Joining Kogan atop the podium was Marcelo Cantu (24-7) at 126-pounds, but terrific work from Evan Mishels (120) and Mikey Polyakov (138) to earn second place medals would help the cause.

So would the quartet of third-place medals from Stefan Vihrov (106), Daniel Berdich (113), Valentin Vihrov (144) and Philip Boyko at 175.

Freshman Stefan Vihrov recorded a tourney-high three tech-falls, 75 total match points, and his 23 single match points tied him with No. 1 Caleb Noble (Warren) who won his third straight league crown.

Mundelein senior Ethan Banda (155, 31-5) scored the quickest tech-fall of the day in just 51 seconds.

2nd: Grant (216.0)

Despite falling short to its rivals from Stevenson, last year’s Lake County champs managed to collect ten top five medals on the day, led by the two first-place trophies won by Jace Glauser (120, 26-5) and No. 3 Erik Rodriguez (32-6) at 138.

“This is a really great team to be around, everyone has bought into what is needed to be successful, and the culture that coach (Mark) Jolcover and his staff has instilled in us has really helped our program turn around,” opined Rodriguez, who was third a year ago at state.

No. 1 Vince Jasinski (144) was second overall, as were Brady Myatt (106), John Von Hoene (150) and Xavier Arroyo at 175.

Breiydyn Hoffman (126), Casey Gipson (190) and Ajani Williams (285) would all chip in with third place medals, Larry Quirk fourth at 113.

3rd: Wauconda (140.5)

No. 11 Wauconda (14-7-0) who will travel to the Wheeling’s 2A regional Saturday, would watch No. 6 Brian Hart (157, 35-6) win his first major of the season.

Finn Loomis (215) was third, Nicholas Ruiz (120), Mason Porten (126) fourth, and Liam Harris fifth at 138.

Additional individual champions:

Dominic DeMarco (106, Grayslake Central), Caleb Noble (113, Warren), Chase Nobiling (144, Antioch), Warren Nash (150, Grayslake Central), Brian Hart (157, Wauconda), Royce Lopez (165, Warren), Daniel Hernandez (175, Mundelein), Aaron Stewart (190, Warren), Rocco DiCanio (215, Lake Zürich), Owen Shea (285, Antioch).

HARVARD GIRLS OPEN

Homewood-Flossmoor would dominate up-and-down the weight classes, outscoring its closest rival by over 100 points en route to taking home the big trophy from the Harvard Girls Open.

“We are very excited about how our regular season ended,” began a proud H-F head coach Scott Aronson, whose club went 12-2-0 in dual-meet action.

“We have ten girls who finished their regular season with more than twenty-five wins, with eight of our girls finishing in third place, or higher.

“What is most exciting for me as head coach is the fact that none of these girls walked into our room with any previous experience, and the fact that just two will be graduating says a lot about the future of H-F girls wrestling.

“I attribute our success to a deep connection this group of girls have with each other, a culture of hard work, and a desire to work hard, and a dedication to offseason training. My hope that our success this season translate into some post-season magic.”

1st: Homewood-Flossmoor (242.5)

The team champions would celebrate the title runs of Amirat Toheeb-Lawal (115) and Kennedy Dade (140), who were supported nicely by teammate Kendra Hayden’s second-place finish at 190.

Ri’ Anna Giles (105), Dilailah Lopez (110), London Gandy (125), Amara Nwoye (135) and Denise Brown (145) were all third.

Lopez and Brown would both claim a tourney-best five pins, while Na’ imah Lamon (155) and Olivia Haywood (170) were fourth overall.

2nd: Woodstock (135.5)

No. 9 Eva Hermanson (100), along with Ava Kok (140), Brianna Crown (155) and Allison Hill (230) were all third, while Danica LaTessa (120) finished fourth.

CENTRAL SUBURBAN LEAGUE (GIRLS)

It was a memorable day for Maine East wrestling, which lifted its first-ever CSL championship trophy in program history following its 39.5-point advantage (211.0-172.5) over second place Maine South.

“Our seniors have worked extremely hard to make this program what it is today, and they will leave a lasting mark on our program, and Maine East high school,” began a proud Lizeth Torres, the Lady Demons head coach.

“This season, every girl in our program played a role in our success by helping prepare those who were in our lineup, and overall the girls competed with great focus, and composure, and it was the support for one another that was evident from start-to-finish.”

The league champions would place 12 of 14 in their respective weight divisions, and would pin 19 on the day, while recording a tourney-high 158 total match points.

The Lady Demons would celebrate a trio of individual titles: Evelyn Torres (100, 24-8),  Eliana Badeen (105, 19-8) and Alena Oshana (130, 37-4) – who all were praised afterwards by their head coach.

“(Evelyn) who is just a sophomore, is a hard working athlete, who shows great dedication every day in the room, while Eliana, one of our senior captains, has been a leader both on and off the mat, and has a great work ethic that allows her to compete with confidence and toughness.

“Alena Oshana is also one of our senior captains, and its the way that she leads by example through her dedication, discipline, work ethic and mental toughness that sets her apart as she has been an important leader within the program.”

No.1 Arielle Dobin (125, Glenbrook North, 27-0) continues to roll along, while Maine South sophomore, Sophia Fortis (230, 16-2) earned her second straight CSL crown.

MID-SUBURBAN LEAGUE (BOYS)

Barrington won the MSL title after it claimed five individual champions, and a total of 13 top five medal winners to cruise past the competition Saturday afternoon in Arlington Heights.

One year after the Broncos finished second at this tournament behind eventual league champion Hersey, Dan Keller’s men were never threatened on their way to amassing 276.0 overall points,  77 more than runner-up Wheeling, who will the favorite to win its own class 2A regional this weekend.

Hersey was third with 183.0 points, Prospect (144.5) fourth, and Fremd (142.5) fifth.

“We’ve been working on the little details – trying to clean things up, and right now, I feel if we stay healthy, we’ll be in a good spot going forward,” said Keller of a No. 16-rated Broncos club that will compete for the Fremd regional team title along with No. 14 Stevenson on Saturday at host Harper Community College.

“I like where we’re at right now, everyone is putting in the extra work to get ready for the last couple of weeks of the season, and with a really good mix of experience, and young guys on our roster, I feel like we’ll be ready for the challenge ahead of us,” said Jimmy Whitaker.

The Broncos’ senior missed nearly all of last season to a broken collarbone, but has come back stronger than ever, taking home the 144-pound title while moving his overall record to 36-7, which would include his 100th career victory on this day.

Teammates Kaleb Pratt (120, 37-5), Ryan Dorn (132, 32-5), Daniel Blanke (150, 34-9) and Sam Cushman (175, 28-10) all made it to the top of the podium, Dorn for the second consecutive time.

MID-SUBURBAN LEAGUE (GIRLS)

Schaumburg won for the third consecutive year on Saturday inside the spacious field house at the Forest View Educational Center, but it wasn’t easy for Matt Gruszka’s club.

The Saxons would keep both Conant and Wheeling at bay for most of the day, until finally opening up some distance from its rivals to collect 290.5 overall points.

Conant, with its three individual champs Giselle Varelas (115, 33-6), Jasmine Zavaleta (130, 32-4) and Ewa Krupa (135, 20-2), were second with 222.o points, while Wheeling (212.0) was third overall behind the 230-pound title from No. 2 Jasmine Rene, now 28-0.

“Our conference tournament keeps getting tougher each year. Conant and Wheeling have really good teams, so we knew it would be a battle throughout the day,” said Gruszka.

“Our girls had a great semifinal round, and created some distance in the team score, with Makenzi Aguilar (100) and Justice Girod (110) winning their third MSL titles.

“Nadia (Razzak, 36-1) avenged her only loss of the season in her final with Irma Villa (Palatine, 31-2). But for us, the big final for us was the one in which Isabella Rivas won at 125 pounds.”

Rivas (33-3) would take an early lead against No. 2, and 2025 state runner-up Elise Burkut (34-3) before holding off a furious fight from the Wheeling senior to win in stunning fashion with a 6-4 decision.

“It feels amazing to win my first conference championship on the same day we won our third straight MSL team title as well,” said an emotionally-drained Rivas, who was mobbed by her teammates after this sensational six-minute contest.

“The girls have really been trying to step it up a notch as the season ends,” McCullum said. “They showed great pose and wrestled well against a good field. We now go back to clean up our mistakes as we go into conference and regional play. The team has been working hard all season to get to this point. We look forward to the postseason.”

RANTOUL GIRLS TOURNAMENT

Bradley-Bourbonnais captured the title of Rantoul’s 15-team girls tournament on Monday, winning 127-80 over second-place Champaign Central.

The Boilermakers’ 15 pins and 150 total match points led the field for coach Max Schumer, who got individual titles from Aubrianna Rapier (135), Sophia Domont (140), Alexis McCullough (170) and Kaylee Morris (235).

The mission for the girls program in the fifth year of IHSA girls wrestling in Illinois is clear for Schumer and assistant coach Mickey Spiwak.

“Bradley-Bourbonnais is in its second official year as a girls program,” Schumer said. “The girls are trying to make a stand in the state of Illinois, as a program that takes this sport seriously and wants to be known to other teams as a dominant force in the sport.

“Our girls work really hard and have great leadership in Sommer Boswell, Aubrianna Rapier, Kylie Rapier, and Sophia Domont.  They hold the rest of the team accountable and have a very high standard.”

St. Joseph-Ogden (76.5) finished third, followed by Oakwood/Salt Fork (61) and Robinson (51.5) to round out the top five finishes.

1st- Bradley-Bourbonnais (127)
In addition to titles from Rapier, Domont, McCullough and Morris, the Boilermakers got a second from Leighlah Duda (190), thirds from Rihanna Randall (105) and Mya Robinson (170), a fourth from Kylie Rapier (155), a fifth from Ember McGarvey (145) and a sixth from Alyssa Larios (155).

McGarvey had two tech falls and led the field in single-match points with 21. She was also second in total match points with 41.

Aubrianna Rapier has won four individual tournament titles this season “and she has led the charge when it comes to introducing girls wrestling to our school,” Schumer said. “She is adamant about striving for a state title and continuing her wrestling career post-high school.”

Domont put in a ton of off-season work “and it’s really nice to see all that hard work pay off,” Schumer said. “(McCullough) shows not only resilience and determination in the face of the challenges associated with this sport, but compassion and love for her teammates as well…(Morris) is a first year wrestler

who has been an essential part of this team at the 235 weight class.  We have not seen many girls in this sport be as physically dominant.”

Maroons coach Tristan Birt got an individual title from Londyn Grant (130), a runner-up finish from Jasmine Palestino (145), thirds from Rita Grant (125), Ashley Alquicira (135) and Zaiyrah Bailey (140), and a fifth from Onisty Murphy (155).

618 Scramble

One day after placing third at the Normal Invitational, Collinsville claimed the crown at this year’s 15-team 618 Girls Scramble, at the Jon Davis Wrestling Center in Edwardsville.

Coach Adam Gillespie’s girls had five individual 618 champions and one second-placer among a group of eight girls who placed in the top four of their weight classes.

Collinsville won 153-119 over Belleville West, followed by Triad (111), Waterloo (94) and Edwardsville (90.5) to round out the top five finishes.

Winning titles for the Kahoks were Ivana Torres (110), Jaezelle Young (115), Emma Ford (120), Londyn Long (125) and Addyson Bailey (135).

“They had their most dominant performance of the season,” Gillespie said of his girls. “The first-place finish was a tribute to all the hard work these athletes bring into the room every day.”

Collinsville has finished in the top three in six tournaments this season, including two team titles. The Kahoks also finished with an 8-1 record in dual meets this year.

“I am so insanely proud of this team for the way they have come together and pushed themselves in the pursuit of victory,” Gillespie said. “Every day they look for reasons and ways to get better and be the best teammates to each other. I am a very lucky coach to coach this team and cannot wait to see what the postseason holds for them.

“They have done a tremendous job of putting Collinsville on the map as a wrestling town. They all take pride in wearing the purple and white and representing CHS.”

1st- Collinsville (153)
In addition to titles from Torres, Young, Ford, Long and Bailey, the Kahoks got a second from Harlee Hart (100), a third from Jaylah Harris (130), and a fourth from Neveah Hamer-Burries (235).

Hart’s second-place finish was her highest of the year, Torres has now finished in the top three of five tournaments, and Young “had an outstanding performance at both the 618 invite as well as the SWC tournament,” Gillespie said.

“Emma (Ford) has taken a massive leadership role on this team this season and it was amazing to see all of her hard work finally pay off.”

Long won her fifth tournament title of the season in Edwardsville and leads the team in points with 259.5. 34 of her 37 wins this year have been by fall.

“Londyn has been a huge leader for this team, she is a prime example of what selfless service looks like,” Gillespie said. “She takes the time both in and out of season to make sure that those around her know the importance of not taking any reps off and pushing their limits so they don’t crack under the pressure of a live match.”

Gillespie noted the growth that Harris has taken in her first season on the mat, sees Bailey hitting her groove, and despite the absence of Leann Cory (145) from the lineup, Gillespie applauded her contributions this year.

“Leann Cory is on an incredible run this year,” Gillespie said. “She has placed top two at every tournament she has competed in this year to include a second-place finish at Wonder Woman. She has brought home three championships for the Kahoks this year and 253.5 team points.

“Leann has been an incredible leader to have in the room, she has been beyond selfless with her schedule ensuring she is in the room ready to train any time she gets the opportunity. She has been an incredible example of what a Kahok wrestler is to all of the underclassmen and new wrestlers in our line up.” 

2nd- Belleville West (119)
Maroons coach Mech Spraggins got an individual title from Andre’a Kirkpatrick (235), a second from Riley Weems (110), thirds from Alyssa Hardt (140) and Moriah Lampley (155), and fourths from Kendyll Otten (125), Ja’yla Hurst (135), Akiya Jett (145) and Ineta Grubbs (155).

2026 AARON DUDLEY MEMORIAL GIRLS INVITE

Despite having only one individual champion, Plainfield South used its depth to secure the 26-team 2026 Aaron Dudley Memorial Girls Invite at Oswego East. The Cougars edged Wheaton Warrenville South 158-156.5 for the team crown. The squads were followed by Downers Grove North (143.5) in third, Berwyn-Cicero Morton (127) in fourth and Aurora Metea Valley (119) in fifth. 

“This tournament was one of my favorites as a coach, not for the number of girls we put on top of the podium, but for the resilience and grit we saw from our girls on the backsides of brackets,” Cougars coach Tom Redmon said. “So many important advancement points in the consolations really powered our win on Saturday after a very tight team race with an incredible Wheaton-Warrenville South squad.”

1st: Plainfield South 158

Layla Spann brought home the crown in the 170 weight class for the Cougars’ lone individual champion. Amie Fuentes (100), Kayla Ochotorena (115) and Kimyra Patrick (190) placed third in their classes. Three other girls finished fifth for the Cougars: Yuliana Manrique (125), Zola Estes (140) and Sammie Ntone (235).

“A lot of girls could’ve hung their heads after some disappointing losses, but were able to pick themselves up and put the team first to make sure we finished the day in the best position possible,” Redmon said. “As a coach, I couldn’t be more proud of that kind of performance at this stage of the season — just a great day all around.”

2nd: Wheaton Warrenville South 156.5

Heidi Bourne (135) and Louisa Enslen (145) won their weight classes to help the Tigers to a second-place overall finish.
