GRANT REGIONAL 

No. 5 Grant crushed its competition on Saturday in Fox Lake inside Benedetti Field House – using eight individual champions, and a total of 11 sectional qualifiers to overwhelm the 8-team field on its home mats.

The Bulldogs would erase a heart-breaking loss a week ago to Stevenson in the Lake County Invite with its tourney-high 246.5 overall points, while Libertyville and Warren finished far off the pace with 163.0, and 131.5 points.

The Bulldogs’ second consecutive regional crown means it will now host Hononegah this Thursday in a dual-team sectional semifinal.

The eight individual champions for the home side were: Brady Myatt (106), Jayce Glauser (120), Breiydyn Hoffman (126), Erik Rodriguez (138), Vince Jasinski (144), John Von Hoene (150), Matthew Longabaugh (215) and Ajani Williams (285).

Larry Quirk (113), and Xavier Arroyo (190) were second, while senior, and 2025 state qualifier, Casey Gipson earned a third place medal at 190.

Mundelein (124.5) Zion-Benton (74.0), Round Lake (61.5), McHenry (52.5) and Waukegan (32.0) would follow the top three.

SOUTHWEST PRAIRIE CONFERENCE

Minooka coach Paige Schoolman got top-four finishes from 11 girls in winning Friday’s Southwest Prairie Conference meet, topping Joliet Central 185-150 for the title.

The team lead bounced around the 12-team field all day.

“We are proud of the effort the girls gave the entire tournament. Today was a great balanced battle at the top of the team race,” Schoolman said. “Throughout the meet, Joliet Central, Joliet West, Plainfield South, Bolingbrook and Minooka took turns in the top three of the team race.”

Minooka was in third place after the semifinal round. Dominant individual efforts from Marian Nordsell (110), Sabina Charlebois (130) and Ezra Rodriguez (140) led the way, but they were far from alone in building the team title.

“Our three finalists did what we hoped they would do pinning their way through the tournament,” Schoolman said. “The other eight girls that experienced a (semifinal) loss and came back to battle into the third place bouts made the difference today in the team race.”

Minooka got thirds from Therese Escano (105), Anastasia Morales (120), Lexie Lakota (135) and Addison Davis (170), and fourths from Angela Morales (120), Melody Williams (145), Abigail Underhill (155) and Mia Lemberg (190).

Eleven of Minooka’s 12 girls entered earned spots in place matches, “a testament  to the consistent work the girls have put in all season,” Schoolman said.

Minooka’s 53 wins were the most by any team, followed by Joliet West with 52 and Joliet Central with 49. Joliet West led the field in pins (38), tech falls (3) and total match points (386).

Minooka and Plainfield South led all teams with three champions, and Plainfield South had the most girls reach the championship mat with five.

Nordsell, Charlebois and Rodriguez shined for Minooka.

“Marian (Nordsell) came out and wrestled the best she has wrestled in her career,” Schoolman said. “Focused, determined, and relentless ,she made the most of her opportunities and getting her first SPC Championship.  She is gonna be a problem for other 110’s the next few weeks.

“Sabina wrestled tough, racking up three pins, and she finishes her SPC career as a three-time SPC champion and undefeated in SPC Tournament competitions, with all wins by pin.  Excited to see Sabina perform over the next few weeks.

“Ezra dominated the competition today,” Schoolman continued. “She has been bumping up to 145 pounds all year seeking the best competition. We are excited to see what she will do at her natural weight class (140) over the next few weeks.”

Schoolman loved the way Escano battled all day, bouncing back from a semifinal loss to post two key pins for Minooka. He also applauded Dewey’s effort and resilience, and “Addison (Davis) battled so tough today,” he said.

“Even in her semi-final loss she was giving amazing effort. She is an amazing kid that just works hard to try to grind out wins every match.”

Lakota truly showed what she’s made from in the team win.

“Lexi dropped a first -ound match that she was controlling,” Schoolman said. “Instead of sulking, she got back out there and won three matches in a row by fall to take third. All of those were tough matches and she had to dig deep for herself and the team. Really proud of her effort today.

“Our fourth-place finishers made a huge impact on the team score. Mia Lemberg, Abby Underhill, Mel Williams, and Angela Morales all went 2-2 and did great battling back in the wrestlebacks. Mia and Abby had a tough bracket that would probably rearrange placements everytime it was wrestled. Angela and Mel are bumped up a weight class and gave great effort to help the team to the championship.”

By Curt Herron – for the IWCOA

HOFFMAN ESTATES – Lockport Township made history in 2024 when it used title wins from Claudia Heeney and Morgan Turner to score 58 points at the IHSA Finals, finishing just three points behind Lakes Community in the first year that the IHSA gave out trophies in the sport.

That was also the third time that a school won two individual state titles with Hononegah in 2022 and Homewood-Flossmoor in 2023 the other cases.

With Heeney winning her second title in three finals appearances last season, the Porters fell just short of claiming a second trophy, tying Hononegah for fourth with 40 points, 5.5 points behind third-place Kaneland.

With no program winning more than one trophy in the past two seasons, Lockport Township hopes to be the first to pull off that feat, although Hampshire may be able to follow up on its second-place finish to champion District 230 co-op from last season, and Batavia finished behind the Porters for third place in 2023.

The Porters were part of historic tournaments in Hoffman Estates in recent weekends and strong showings in both competitions give first-year coach Amier Khamis’ team hopes that it has what it takes to become the first program to capture two state trophies.

In the Conant Tournament, Lockport Township received title wins in the A bracket from junior Veronica Skibicki (120), senior Heeney (140), senior Myra Vicencio (170) and junior Rebekah Ramirez (235) while senior Sophie Kelner (190) claimed second place. Bella Romando (115) finished fourth and Kyleigh Green (130) took fifth as they all helped the team to a dominating performance in the 46-team competition. Heeney was one of three champions who also won a title at Conant in 2025.

The meet was not scored so there was no team champion, but the Porters definitely believed that they were the top-performing team in the A bracket since they had twice as many champions as the only other team that had two title winners in the bracket, Yorkville.

“It was a great day all around,” Khamis said. “I think we had some kids step up and beat some competitors that were ranked ahead of them. And so I just appreciate that the team came out and we learned from our lessons the past few weeks, and we really rallied together. I thought the support amongst each other was great. As a team, the team chemistry and everything was solid today. I get more excited each and every week for that state tournament. So I’m really, really looking forward to all that. Some of these kids that won today, they haven’t won a tournament all year and they had to beat some solid kids to get there, so I’m happy about that.

They’ve been pushing so hard every single week and it’s just effort and effort is what makes you great at this sport and I think that these kids are you know showcasing that. I know that we’ll be our strongest when it matters the most.”

That competition featured what is believed to be the largest one-day tournament in the history of the sport with 403 girls entered. More teams wanted to take part, but Conant had to deny them due to time and space constraints. To accommodate all of those who were involved, there were four brackets for most of the weight classes and as many as six at some of the weights.

The host Cougars made the most of the opportunity to have individuals in multiple brackets and as a result, they had seven title winners, four who placed second, two who took third and two who were fourth. Conant’s title winners were Ewa Krupa (135 B), Susan Bilyal (155 B), Jayiana Newcombe (145 C), Claudia Weglarz (170 C), Jocelyn Ocasion (110 D), Izabela Eisenmenger (170 D) and Brea Hoffman (125 D1). Jasmine Zavaleta, a senior who was an A bracket  champion last year, took second place at 130 in 3A.

Hinsdale South senior Callie Carr, who was an IHSA champion at 155 in 2025, extended her win streak to 61 matches over the past two seasons after winning the A title at 155. Glenbrook North co-op junior Ariella Dobin, a two-time IHSA medalist who was second at 120 last season, took first at 125. Both remained unbeaten and repeated as champions to join Heeney as the only ones in the field who were able to pull off that feat.

There were also three freshmen who won A bracket titles, Yorkville’s Savannah Turner (110), Wheaton Academy’s Catherine Diehl (130) and Grant’s Abby Quirk (135). 

Yorkville also got an A bracket title from junior Analiese Garretson (105) while other champions in the A bracket were Glenbard South junior Valerie Aliga (100), Metea Valley junior Janiya Moore (115), Oak Forest senior Iyobosa Odiase (145) and Palatine sophomore Irma Villa (190). Odiose was also a runner-up in last year’s Conant tournament. 

Additional second-place finishers in A were Metea Valley freshman Sonya Amin (100) and junior Alketa Picari (140), Ottawa Township juniors Ciara Bolf (105) and Lily Gwaltney (110), Lake Zurich sophomore Georgia Hay (115), Montini Catholic freshman Sarah Bell (120), Evanston Township sophomore Samantha Gipson (125), Palatine sophomore Evelyn Arreola (135), Rolling Meadows senior Janet Brindis (145), Yorkville sophomore Lauryn Trotter (155), Warren Township junior Hanna Bairstow (170) and Romeoville junior Henessis Villagrana (235).

There was a seven-way tie among the A champions for the most team points with 26 and those individuals were Aliga, Carr, Heeney, Odiase, Quirk, Skibicki and Villa while Diehl and Dobin tied for eighth with 25.5 points and Moore and Turner tied for tenth place with 24 team points.

Moore was the lone A competitor to have two wins by technical fall and also led everyone with 53 total match points while Dobin ranked second in A with 41 and Claudia Heeney was third in A with 35 match points. Champions in the A bracket who tied for the most pins with three were Aliga, Heeney, Odiase, Quirk, Skibicki and Villa. Among the A bracket champions, Quirk had the largest seed-place difference after improving five positions to take first place at 135.

The next weekend, 13 of the teams who competed at Conant returned to the same village to take part in the 39-team Hawks Tournament at Hoffman Estates, which had 384 entrants. 

While Lincoln-Way co-op was on hand for both competitions, coach Josh Napier’s team brought their full lineup for the Hawk Invite and easily captured the championship with 321.5 points while Lockport Township edged Schaumburg 238.5-231.5 for second place, Minooka took fourth with 221 points and Conant finished fifth with 201.5 points. 

The co-op of Lincoln-Way Central, Lincoln-Way East and Lincoln-Way West only had one entrant in Conant’s A bracket, sophomore Aubrey Barnes, who took fifth and then was second at 120 at Hoffman Estates. Lincoln-Way also got Hawk titles from senior Zoe Dempsey (115) and junior Riley DePolo (170) while freshman Abby Kunz (140) also took second place.

 A year ago, the Hoffman Estates Hawk Invite had 361 competitors while Conant had 321. The Hawks Invite had a few more entrants this year with 384 while Conant expanded much more to exceed the 400 mark and wound up with 403 competitors. 

To put both of those tournaments into perspective, if you look at the next 10-biggest Illinois tournaments throughout the season, they averaged around 255 participants.

The runner-up Porters got titles for the second week in a row from Heeney (135) and Ramirez (235)  while Kelner (190) again took second place, Skibicki (120) placed third and Romando (115) and Vicencio (170) both finished fifth..

Three other individuals won titles both weekends that they competed in the two tournaments in Hoffman Estates, Dobin (125), Diehl (130) and Odiase (145).

Bell lost to Skibicki in the 120 A finals at Conant and one week later won the title at 120 over Barnes. Barrington sophomore Nicole Dziura took fifth at 140 A at Conant and then won a title at 140 in the Hoffman Estates Invite over Kunz. Zavaleta took second place both weekends, falling in the 130 finals to Diehl in both tournaments.

In one of the biggest title matches in the Hawk Invite, Glenbard East senior Nadiia Shymkiv, an IHSA runner-up last year at 105 and a three-time state medalist, won a 7-2 decision over last year’s IHSA 100 title winner, Rockford East sophomore Saya Hongmoungkhoune.

Additional senior champions in the Hawk Invite were Oak Forest’s Alexandra Sebek (100), Thornton Township co-op’s Ariel Woodfin (110), Minooka’s Abigail Underhill (155) and Schaumburg’s Nadia Razzak (190).

Others who took second place at Hoffman Estates’ Invite were Woodstock co-op seniors Eva Hermansson (100) and Brianna Crown (155), Newman Central Catholic junior Blair Grennan (110), Schaumburg senior Anna Villarreal (115), Glenbard West junior Karolina Konopka (125), Hononegah sophomore Bella Castelli (135), Minooka senior Ezra Rodriguez (145), Riverside-Brookfield senior Estefany Bejarano (170) and Shepard junior Karrine Jenkins (235).

Now the focus shifts to the upcoming IHSA state series where many of the competitors from both tournaments are likely to see each other once or twice with much bigger things at stake.

Lincoln-Way, which won the IWCOA Girls State Dual Team Championship over Schaumburg and also took first in tournament titles at Minooka, Hampshire and Oswego East, will be in the Schaumburg Sectional after competing in the Geneseo Sectional a year ago. That sectional will now be held at DeKalb.

In 2025, the Schaumburg Sectional began with 592 individuals who were entered in the Hinsdale South, Willowbrook and Hampshire Regionals. 

Meanwhile, The New Trier Sectional, which will be held this year at Phillips in Chicago, had 451 at its three regionals. The Geneseo Sectional had 387 in its three regionals and the Highland Sectional had 325 individuals in its three regionals.

One of the most-challenging regionals in this year’s Schaumburg Sectional will be at East Aurora, where Lincoln-Way and Lockport Township are both entered. 

Other schools that will compete at East Aurora who have won multiple tournament titles or placed in the top-four of competitions on three or more occasions are Upstate Eight Conference champion East Aurora as well as Joliet Central, Plainfield South, Metea Valley and Batavia.

Ten of the 14 A bracket champions at Conant hope to compete in the Schaumburg Sectional while two others look to advance to DeKalb and two more intend to qualify at Phillips.

In the Schaumburg Sectional, six of the Conant champions will take part in the East Aurora Regional, the Porters’ four title winners, Carr and Moore. Also at Schaumburg, Quirk and Villa will compete in the Hampshire Regional while Diehl and Aliga will participate in a regional at a location that’s still to be announced.  

The champions who will be in the Belvidere Regional of the DeKalb Sectional are Garretson and Turner. And the title winners who will be in the Phillips Sectional are Dobin and Odiase, who are in different regionals whose sites are still to be announced one week prior to the events.

Once again, it’s safe to say that whichever individuals and teams have the best opportunities to accomplish something special at this year’s IHSA Finals in Bloomington very likely won’t be apparent until the conclusion of the Schaumburg Sectional Tournament on February 14. 

Here’s a look at the champions and their weight classes at The Conant Tournament

100 A – Valerie Aliga, Glenbard South

Valerie Aliga lost both of her matches at the Hinsdale South Regional and finished last season with a 9-12 record. But after winning the 100 A title at the Conant Tournament by recording a fall in 1:30 over Metea Valley’s Sonya Amin in the finals, the Glenbard South junior improved to 15-4 after claiming her first invite title of the season and now looks to do what only one individual from her program achieved a year ago, which was to qualify for the Schaumburg Sectional and her ultimate goal is the become her school’s initial IHSA qualifier. The lone champion and finalist for coach Kenny Paoli’s Raiders, she also won her first two matches with pins, winning in 3:59 over Yorkville’s Danielle Turner in the semifinals. She was one of seven A bracket champions who tied for the most team points with 26.

“It feels nice,” Aliga said. “I didn’t do so hot last year, so it’s nice to come back. It’s just a lot of conditioning. Every time I step on the mat, I just tell myself I can win this. The other person’s good, but I can be just as good. It’s all about what you think walking on to the mat. I love being in wrestling and the team has grown a lot since my freshman year. I just love how even though there’s more of us now, we’re all still close-knit. It’s like we all know each other, we all have fun together, we all are able to root for each other. And even if one of us isn’t doing as well as the others, we’re still all there for each other, and I think that’s really great. It’s all about the grind. I’ve never done anything as hard as wrestling. It’s challenging, but it’s a good challenge. And it sets me up for other things, success in school and everything outside of wrestling.”

Amin moved to 21-12 in her freshman season and joined 115 A bracket champion Janiya Moore and 140 A runner-up Alketa Picari as finalists for coach Kevin Garbis’ Mustangs. She earned her spot on the title mat with a 6-1 decision over Downers Grove South’s Andrea Santos in the semifinals. Amin also was a runner-up at Fenton and at East Aurora. Turner claimed third place with a pin in 0:36 over Santos. And in the fifth-place match, Warren Township’s Natasha Flores won by fall in 3:06 over Ottawa Township’s Isabel Gwaltney.

105 A – Analiese Garretson, Yorkville

Analiese Garretson would like to buck the trend for Yorkville after it had no state qualifiers for the first time in 2025 after Yamilet Aguirre placed three-straight years in the IHSA Finals from 2022 to 2024, including being the state runner-up in 2023, and Natasha Markoutsis was one of the initial IHSA champions in 2022. The junior improved to 18-4 after recording a fall in 3:01 over Ottawa Township’s Ciara Bolf in the 105 A title match at Conant. She joined 110 A title winner Savannah Turner and 155 A runner-up Lauryn Trotter as A bracket finalists for coach Kevin Roth’s Foxes. Garretson went 29-14 last season and fell a bit shy of advancing to state from the Geneseo Sectional. She earned her spot on the title mat by winning an 8-4 decision over Hersey’s Emma Strohmeier in the semifinals and tied for 12th in team points in A with 22.

“It feels really good,” Garretson said. “I’ve put in a lot of work, so I’m glad to see it paid off. They’re doing really well and we’ve all been working hard. I definitely like the camaraderie. We all cheer each other on all the time. We’re always trying to help each other out to improve, and I definitely think that’s helped our program. I’ve done a lot of off-season work so far, but I’m always just trying to work on positions and perfecting each move. Our coaches do help a lot.

(Competing for Yorkville) It’s a lot of fun. The camaraderie, we all help each other out. We’re always trying to make sure we can all succeed. (Likes about wrestling) I like how competitive it is. It definitely helps you push yourself and achieve things you didn’t think you could.” 

Bolf, a junior who left the competition with an 11-7 record, joined 110 A runner-up Lily Gwaltney as finalists for coach Kevin Aughenbaugh’s Lady Pirates. She got pins in her first two matches, winning in 2:19 over Lake Park’s Reese Nicolas in the semifinals. Strohmeier claimed third place with a 7-3 decision over Nicolas. For fifth place, Rolling Meadows’ Lupe Nava Perez won by fall in 4:15 over Metea Valley’s Barbara Vargas.

110 A – Savannah Turner, Yorkville

Savannah Turner was one of three freshmen champions at the Conant Tournament and she had one of the toughest challenges of that trio since she had to win the 110 A title match over a junior who was a two-time IHSA qualifier who won 25 matches a year ago that also was coming off of an exciting semifinal win over another junior IHSA qualifier who won 25 matches last season. She improved to 18-6 with a pin in 2:29 over Ottawa Township’s Lily Gwaltney in the finals. Gwaltney, who qualified for state while at Streator Township, advanced to the title mat with a 15-13 decision in the semifinals over New Trier’s Sunny Aitzemkour, who also qualified to the IHSA Finals in 2025. Turner, who won by fall in 1:02 over Lake Zurich’s Kai Battulaga in the semifinals, joined 105 A champion Analiese Garretson and 155 A runner-up Lauryn Trotter as finalists for coach Kevin Roth’s Foxes. She tied for tenth in A bracket for team points with 24. 

“We’re doing amazing this season,” Turner said. “We’re all working really hard in practice and out of practice, so we’re all very content with each other. It’s because I train with my older sister, Danielle. Actually, she started a lot before me and then I saw how interesting it was. We all know what we want, and so we all train extremely hard for that. And I just put a lot of effort in and out of it with my grades, school, and I do multiple different practices, so I’ll continue with that. What I like about our team is that we all have a good friendship, so we’re all very around each other, and we’re just a very strong relationship in the sport and out of it. (Likes about wrestling) I’m excited about being able to see how strong girls can actually be because this used to just be a guy’s sport. So it’s really interesting being able to see the growth in it. And it’s just really fun to watch girls be able to dominate multiple people.”

Gwaltney, who was 17-3 after the tournament, joined 105 A runner-up Ciara Bolf as a finalist for coach Kevin Aughenbaugh’s Lady Pirates. The two-time state qualifier who went 25-8 last season while at Streator Township, got a pin prior to her wild semifinal victory over Aitzemkour, a champion at Palatine who was the lone Trevian that competed in the A bracket, moved to 19-3 after taking third place with a win by technical fall in 2:57 over Battulaga. For fifth place, Saint Viator’s Evalyn Idzik got a win by technical fall in 6:00 over Glenbard South’s Lashuna York.

115 A – Janiya Moore, Metea Valley  

Janiya Moore hopes that being able to compete in many tournament finals helps her to qualify for the IHSA Finals after going 43-6 last season and losing a 4-2 decision to fall one win shy of advancing to state from the Schaumburg Sectional. The Metea Valley junior improved to 32-3 after winning a 15-2 major decision over Lake Zurich’s Georgia Hay in the 115 A title match at Conant. She also won titles at Fenton, Oak Forest, J. Sterling Morton and Oswego East and placed second at Larkin, East Aurora and Hampshire. Moore joined A bracket runners-up Sonya Amin (100) and Alketa Picari (140) as finalists for coach Kevin Garbis’ Mustangs. She opened with two victories by technical fall, winning in 4:00 over Warren Township’s Aaliyah Vazquez in the semifinals. She led all competitors with 53 total match points, was one of two individuals who had two wins by technical fall and tied for tenth in the A bracket in team points with 24. 

“Last year I got third, so then it just feels really good knowing that I progressed throughout the last year and my freshman year,” Moore said. “I’m really glad that the girls are really trying to win and really trying to get better. (competing for Metea Valley) I’m so glad that we can just have fun overall. And I’m glad that we all get together and we’re cheering for each other when we’re having a match and we’re all together. And then if we lose, then we come for each other and say that it’s okay. Pretty much just working out and going to all my practices. I don’t really like missing any of my practices. So, just getting better and doing conditioning, stuff like that. (Likes about the sport) I think it’s just getting bigger and there’s more girls. And it’s actually getting known as a sport.”

Hay, who was 17-5 following the tournament, was the lone finalist in the A bracket for the Bears, who are coached by 2025 IWCOA Hall of Fame inductee Chad Hay, who’s Georgia’s father and also was Conant’s boys and girls head coach before taking over his current position at Lake Zurich. She opened with a decision and then won a 13-2 major decision over Lockport Township’s Bella Romando in the semifinals to reach the 115 A bracket title match. In the third-place match, Vazquez won by fall in 2:50 over Romando. And for fifth, Bloomington’s Autumn Starr captured a 15-3 major decision over Neuqua Valley’s Aleta Weigandt.

120 A – Veronica Skibicki, Lockport Township

Veronica Skibicki enjoyed a successful sophomore season in 2024-2025 which saw her go 39-17 for Lockport Township and become one of her team’s four qualifiers for the IHSA Finals, but she fell one win shy of  joining two-time state champion and three-time finalist Claudia Heeney as a medal winner. She wants to rejoin Sophie Kelner, Rebekah Ramirez and Heeney as state qualifiers and all to contend for medals, but first they’ll have to qualify once again from the Schaumburg Sectional. She won by fall in 4:43 over Montini Catholic’s Sarah Bell in the 120 A title match to win her first tournament title of the season and become one of four champions and five finalists for coach Amier Khamis’ Porters, whose other A bracket title winners were Heeney (140), Myra Vicencio (170) and Ramirez (235) while Kelner (190) placed second. She opened with a pin and won by fall in 2:34 over Hersey’s Soha Faisal in the semifinals. Skibicki tied six others in the A bracket, including Heeney, for the most team points with 26.

“Lockport’s been working really hard, and we have a new coach this year, so I think that’s been a big step up,” Skibicki said. “Our team grew a lot this year compared to all the other years I wrestled at Lockport. It’s amazing. I like how on my team, we’re all supportive and are really close together. I feel like I know my team is going to have my back like even if I have a tough match. I’m going out there alone but I know I have all my teammates there on the sidelines supporting me, they’re recording my match and then after my match, even if it’s a loss or a win, they’ve always got my back supporting me all the way and I really appreciate that.

I’ve been working a lot in the offseason and not only wrestling, but running cross country, so I get the endurance and weightlifting and getting my strength and a lot of offseason wrestling and wrestling with new people that will give me different feels, so I can get all those different perspectives. Honestly, I like the adrenaline of going out there and being able to wrestle is such a fun experience that I know I shouldn’t take for granted because a lot of people wish they could do that. And it’s a very physical sport and very mentally challenging. But I’m just so grateful that, it can push me to those limits, you know? It really makes me a better person overall, not just in the wrestling aspect, not just in the physical aspect, but overall as a person.”

Bell, a freshman who left Conant with a 19-7 record, was the lone competitor at the event for coach Sal Annoreno’s Broncos. She followed a victory by technical fall with a pin in 0:23 in the semifinals over Evanston Township’s Oyetola Rachael Jacobs, who went on to capture third place with a fall in 2:37 over Faisal. Lincoln-Way co-op’s Aubrey Barnes took fifth place by getting a pin in 0:54 over Buffalo Grove’s Jacqueline Lateano. And for seventh place, Romeoville’s Jayden Kurowski won a 12-9 decision over Round Lake’s Korrie Levandoski.

125 A – Ariella Dobin, Glenbrook North co-op

Ariella Dobin was part of an historic moment at last year’s IHSA Finals when she finished 45-2 after losing by fall in 5:11 in the 120 title match to Hononegah’s Angelina Cassioppi, who became the IHSA’s first four-time champion in the process. Now the Glenbrook North co-op junior, who also placed fourth at 120 in 2024, wants to make some history of her own by not only becoming a three-time medalist and two-time finalist but also becoming her program’s first IHSA champion. She remained unbeaten at 19-0 after winning the 125 A title at Conant by getting a win by technical fall in 2:33 over Evanston Township’s Samantha Gipson. She was the only competitor in the A bracket for coach Thomas McGovern’s co-op team, which includes athletes from Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South. Dobin also recorded pins in her first two matches, including winning in 1:43 over Buffalo Grove’s Caroline Marogy in the semifinals. She tied for eighth in the A bracket for most team points with 25.5. This was her fourth tournament  championship this season with the other titles at Maine East, Lane Tech and Bolingbrook.

“I’ve just had the mentality to just be aggressive, be on the attack, and I don’t care who’s in front of me. I’m going to wrestle everyone the same way and I’m going to try to impose my will,” Dobin said. “(Taking second place last season) That gave me a lot of motivation and I’ve worked really hard since then. Obviously, getting to the finals, that was an incredible experience. But falling short, that was kind of painful. Just like anybody, when you get second place, it doesn’t feel good. So I’ve just been fine-tuning all of my mistakes and getting ready for the season and the offseason. (Competing for Glenbrook North) I’m so excited. This year we’ve had 12 girls come out and we have about five girls competing at every tournament. And maybe those aren’t the biggest numbers, but that’s more than doubled since last year. I’m just so glad that we have a community now and that girls wrestling is growing, not just at Glenbrook North, but everywhere.There’s a lot of weight classes, that you don’t even know who is going to win them. There’s so many good girls and it;s going to be amazing to watch and going to really grow girls wrestling. I really love, no matter what, our team supports each other, win or lose, you know. Obviously wrestling is a tough sport. There’s a lot of nerves involved, you know, and it’s, like, hard in general, you know, coming to practice, like, getting the cardio, getting the strength training in, and we’ve just, like, been supporting each other all the way through and motivating each other. Even when it gets hard, it’s like, ‘you can do this, you’ve got this, it’s going to be worth it. I think the best thing about girls wrestling is that when you go out on the mat, you know, it’s hard, it’s gritty, it’s tough. But once you get off the mat, it’s like you’re all friends, you know, you’re just like any other like girls who like, you know, like pink, you like makeup, you like this and that. But it’s just like this crazy difference. But I think that’s what makes girls wrestling special.”

Gipson, a sophomore who went 16-14 last season and fell a bit short of advancing from the Round Lake Regional, moved to 21-5 following the Conant Invite. She was the only A bracket finalist for coach Rudy Salinas’ Wildkits. She won her opener by injury default and then got a pin in 0:44 over Mundelein’s Natalie Gonzalez in the semifinals. In the third-place match, Marogy won by fall in 2:54 over Gonzalez. For fifth place, Normal West’s Amelia McClure recorded a pin in 3:05 over Lake Park’s Elida Garcia Torres. And for seventh place, Oak Park and River Forest’s Michelle Kpekpe captured a 14-4 major decision over Romeoville’s M’Kya Harris.

130 A – Catherine Diehl, Wheaton Academy

Catherine Diehl continued her impressive freshman season for Wheaton Academy by improving to 29-1 after taking first place in the 130 A bracket at the Conant Invite by getting a victory by technical fall in 4:39 over Conant’s Jasmine Zavaleta. This was her fourth-straight tournament title with the others coming at Chicago High for Agricultural Sciences, Ottawa Township and Bolingbrook. Her lone defeat came in the title match of her first high school tournament, at Glenbard South. She was the lone competitor for coach Margaret Diehl’s Warriors. She opened with a quick fall and then recorded a pin in 1:08 in the semifinals over Round Lake’s Marissa Mayfield. Diehl tied for eighth place in the A bracket for the most team points with 25.5.

“(What she likes about wrestling) The community, I feel it’s really supportive and it’s great,” Diehl said “And I’ve made a lot of friends. I put all my faith in God for where my path is going. And I go to practice every day I can. And sometimes I work outside of school. I’ve changed my diet a lot to eat healthier. (Wheaton Academy) It’s an amazing place. I love my coaches, and all my teachers are super nice. It’s an amazing place, I really like it.  And my wrestling team and my coaches, Steve Aiello and Ethan Harsted, they really push our team to their limits. And there’s a lot of hardworking guys in the room and they’re great leaders.” 

Zavaleta, a senior who moved to 23-3 following her school’s tournament, qualified for the IHSA Finals last season and finished with a 38-13 record after coming up one victory shy of a medal at 130. A two-time state qualifier who has also won titles at Larkin and Palatine and placed second at Maine East this season, was the lone finalist in the A bracket for coach Brad Bessemer’s host Cougars. She also had a pin early in her opening match before needing just 0:36 to get a fall over Glenbard South’s Nichole Castillo in the semifinals. In the third-place match, Mayfield was a winner by fall in 3:56 over Castillo. For fifth place, Lockport Township’s Kyleigh Green got a pin in 5:57 over Hersey’s Minnie Santeler. And for seventh place, Evanston Township’s Aileen Trejo recorded a fall in 4:37 over Metea Valley’s Hala Elhelou.  

135 A – Abby Quirk, Grant

Abby Quirk was one of three freshmen champions at the Conant Invite but just because she’s new to the high school ranks doesn’t mean that the Grant athlete isn’t already very experienced. She was a winner by fall in 1:05 over Palatine’s Evelyn Arreola in the 135 A bracket title match to become the only champion and finalist in that bracket for coach Mark Jolcover’s Lady Bulldogs. She recently appeared in the finals at Palatine and took second place there. Quirk recorded falls in all three of her matches with her pin in 5:11 in the quarterfinals being the longest that she was on the mat. She advanced to the finals with a pin in 2:53 over Warren Township’s Jane Kelly and tied six others for first in the A bracket for team points with 26.

“I think it all just depends on the level,” Quirk said. “I started when I was in third grade, and last year, I won state for IK (WF) folkstyle, freestyle and I made a national team. My dad (Sean) is really the person who keeps me encouraged and keeps me getting better and drives me to do more things. He’s the head coach of the Fox Lake Wrestling Club and he founded it, too. (Likes about girls wrestling) I started with guys wrestling and it was very challenging but winning is a lot more fun than losing obviously but from the losses you also learn so much more than you do for the wins. The reason why I love wrestling so much is it teaches you so many life skills like discipline, it teaches you how to work past hard things and I think overall that wrestling is one of the sports that teaches you the most and it’s very challenging. (Being on the national team) It was so fun. It was such a privilege and I’m so thankful for it. Fox Lake is very passionate about wrestling. Fox Lake is known for wrestling. We drive to do more and we don’t take no for an answer, I guess. We work at it every day. We have no breaks besides Sunday. But really, I think it’s the coach. Our head coach is coach (Mark) Jolcover. And the head girls coach is Mike Gaughan and Calista Warmowski is another one of our coaches. Her brothers wrestled at Grant throughout their entire high school careers. And our coaches, I feel like they make Grant wrestling what it is because they put all their time and effort into us and they really work at getting us better.” 

Arreola, a sophomore who took first place at Fenton and left the competition with a 9-7 record, joined 190 champion Irma Villa as one of two finalists in the A bracket for the Pirates. She also got falls in her first two matches, winning in 2:38 over Riverside-Brookfield’s Angelica Solis in the semifinals. In the third-place match, Kelly won by fall in 0:54 over Solis. For fifth place, Lake Park’s Ava Burns got a pin in 0:41 over Ottawa Township’s Jaiyden Provance.

140 A – Claudia Heeney, Lockport Township

Claudia Heeney is putting the finishing touches on one of the greatest careers in the sport in IHSA history. After winning her fourth tournament of this season one week later at Hoffman Estates to improve to 31-3, the Lockport Township senior has a 140-7 career record and had only lost once in Illinois, to Freeport’s Cadence Diduch 12-2 in the 2023 IHSA 125 title match. She has the third-best winning percentage among three-time medalists behind two three-time unbeaten champions, Batavia’s Sydney Perry and Glenbard North’s Gabby Gomez. She’s one of 10 individuals who have competed in three or more IHSA title matches and looks to join Hononegah’s four-time champ Angelina Cassioppi as the second individual to compete in four title matches and those four as the only ones to win three or more titles. She went 46-2 and won the 135 title in 2025 over Prospect’s Viola Pianetto 6-0, was 21-1 and won the championship at 130 over Collinsville’s Taylor Dawson 4-2 in 2024 and went 42-0 before falling in the 2023 finals. She won the Conant Invite title at 140 in the A bracket with a fall in 1:55 over Metea Valley’s Alketa Picari. Heeney has won four titles this season with the other two at Minooka and Morris. She was one of four champions and five finalists in the A bracket for coach Amier Khamis’ Porters and she won her other two matches by fall, including in 4:53 over Warren Township’s Tyanna Jackson in the semifinals and she tied six others for the most team points with 26.  

 “We’ve been really putting the pieces together, chain wrestling and what not, I’ve seen a lot of improvement from the girls over the past two weeks,” Heeney said. “We’ve been training really hard in the room and are having really hard practices throughout the week, and I think our coach has a great plan for us, and I see us thriving in the next couple of years. We’ve been really capitalizing on when other girls make mistakes and being able to fight through the whole match, put people to their back when necessary and fight off  of our backs. We’ve been doing a really great job doing that and I think the girls are really just starting to put it together, so it’s really cool to see. (Conant’s tournament) It’s super cool to see how many girls are here and are even competing on the national level you see so many girls too and this is like a really big tournament for in-state so it’s really cool to see, especially when growing up there weren’t that many. The girls are growing up wrestling IKWF, and they’re coming in here, and they’re bulldozing people, and it’s really cool to see and it’s really helping grow the sport, and seeing these girls really push the pace, and it’s just really cool. (The Porters) We’re really tight-knit, we’re all friends and we hang out outside of the gym and inside. It’s really fun practices and we all keep each other motivated, even when we’re in our deepest depths. I think that we’ve got really something special going on here, and I’m sure the team culture will just grow to be more and more positive as the season goes. The best thing about girls wrestling, I would say, is the culture, the team atmosphere. I think it’s part of the reason it’s kind of like that is like we grew up all dealing with the same stuff, so I think it just makes it so much better to be able to speak to these girls who have shared the same experiences as you and bond over that.”

Picari, a junior who moved to 30-4 on the season, joined 115 champion Janiya Moore and 100 runner-up Sonya Amin as A bracket finalists for coach Kevin Garbis’ Mustangs. She went 35-11 last season and fell one victory shy of qualifying for the IHSA Finals from the Schaumburg Sectional. She advanced to the 140 A title match at Conant with a pin and then a win by technical fall in 2:45 over Highland Park’s Lexie Hoobler in the semifinals. Picari has won titles this season at Fenton, Larkin and Oswego East and also placed second at Hampshire. For third place, Jackson won by fall in 0:56 over Hoobler. In the fifth-place match, Barrington’s Nicole Dziura got a pin in 5:21 over Grant’s Annabelle Melton. And for seventh, Lake Zurich’s Kristyanna Apostol was a winner by fall in 4:53 over Downers Grove South’s Allison Garcia.

145 A – Iyobosa Odiase, Oak Forest 

Iyobosa Odiase was able to qualify for the IHSA Finals in both 2025, when she finished 36-10, and also in 2024, but both times the Oak Forest athlete was only able to win one match there. Now the senior hopes that the third time’s the charm for her as she hopes to make a third trip to Bloomington and become the fourth individual from her school to earn a medal at state, which was last done in 2025 when senior Isabel Peralta took sixth at 190. Iyobosa took first place at 145 in the A bracket of the Conant Tourney by recording a fall in 1:13 over Rolling Meadows’ Janet Brindis. She was the lone entrant in the A bracket for coach Jamie Hubbard’s Bengals. She also got pins in her first two matches, needing 2:56 to secure her win in the semifinals over Warren Township’s Ellery Brown. She tied six others for the most team points in the A bracket with 26. She lost to defending IHSA champs in title matches of two invites, Cumberland’s Natalie Beaumont at her own Bengals Bash and Hinsdale South’s Callie Carr at Palatine. 

“I definitely just came in with a winning attitude,” Odiase said. “I didn’t try to look at the brackets or predict the outcome, I just came here to wrestle. I definitely try to focus on the basics most. Have a good double, have a good half. You know, work on the basics so in the future I can be the best at what I know. (About her team) We’ve worked on a lot of closeness. It’s a very new team, so we have to push each other and get the younger ones in a winning spirit, even though it’s their first year, for a lot of them. We definitely try to pass down our wisdom. I like everyone’s willingness to learn. I would say there’s no girl on the team that’s not coachable or that doesn’t take criticism and perfect it. (Likes most about girls wrestling) The community that it builds. There’s just so much support, and there’s so many places to go for college.”

Brindis, a senior who was 21-9 following the Conant Tournament, was the lone finalist in the A bracket  for coach Eric Kohlberg’s Mustangs. She followed a pin with a 5-2 decision over Ottawa Township’s Alivia Butler in the semifinals. Brindis went 31-13 last season and fell a bit short of qualifying for state from the Schaumburg Sectional. In the third-place match, Brown captured an 11-3 major decision over Butler. For fifth place, Metea Valley’s Jordyn Slager won by fall in 1:57 over Evanston Township’s Isabella Vernon. And for seventh place, Buffalo Grove’s Elizabeth Sequera claimed a 6-4 decision over Riverside Brookfield’s Emily Anaya. 

155 A – Callie Carr, Hinsdale South 

Callie Carr made history last season when she not only became the first medalist at Hinsdale South or for Hinsdale High School District 86 but also won an IHSA championship for her first state medal, when she capped a 39-0 junior season by taking first place at 155 with a 6-0 decision over Oswego’s Kiyah Chavez. As a result, she became just the 10th champion from 2023 to 2025 who won state titles for their first medals and was just the third junior to do so during that same time. Now the three-time state qualifier, who fell one win shy of medals at 155 in both 2024 and 2023, hopes to join 13 others who have won two or more state titles. She owned a 61-match winning streak and improved to 22-0 after taking first place in the 155 A bracket at Conant by recording a fall in 0:42 over Yorkville’s Lauryn Trotter. Carr was the lone A bracket competitor for coach Steve Matozzi’s Hornets. She opened with a quick fall and then won by injury default over Round Lake’s Myriah Jefferson in the semifinals. She tied six others for the most team points with 26. She’s also won titles at Antioch and Palatine this season.

“When I started, I was the only girl, so seeing it grow is insane sometimes but I do love it and I love my teammates and they’re great,” Carr said. (Winning the state title) “I was the first girl ever in history. I think the last state champ was Josh King, which wasn’t that long ago, but I never knew him. So I just think it’s great for the program to just kind of be like a trailblazer. And I hit 100 career wins last Wednesday. So it feels nice to be that leader. When we do only girl practices and the boys are at meets, It’s usually like I’ll show something and then we’ll all work on it together. And we just make sure that everybody has it down. (Likes about her team) I just think we’re all very scrappy and we’re really aggressive, and I think that makes us a good team, and a lot of the girls are new, and a lot of them are freshmen. I think my ultimate passion is definitely my grandpa, he’s been huge. Bob Dressel, he wrestled at OPRF. He’s always been at my tournaments and he’s here today.”

Trotter, a sophomore who moved to 20-4 following the Conant Tournament, joined title winners Analiese Garretson (105) and Savannah Turner (110) as one of three A bracket finalists for coach Kevin Roth’s Foxes. She recorded falls in her first two matches, winning in 1:57 over Bloomington’s Alicia Swank in the semifinals. In the third place match, Jefferson won by fall in 3:17 over Swank. For fifth place, Grayslake Central’s Maryia Razhkova won by injury default over Lake Zurich’s Caitlin Ruley. And for seventh place, Downers Grove South’s Natasha Myers was a winner by fall in 5:41 over Warren Township’s Haley Fugelseth.

170 A – Myra Vicencio, Lockport Township

Myra Vicencio picked a good time to turn in her best tournament finish of the season by joining 

Veronica Skibicki (120), Claudia Heeney (140) and Rebekah Ramirez (235) to give Lockport Township an invite-high four champions in the A bracket and with Sophie Kelner (190) taking second, Bella Romando (115) fourth and Kyleigh Green (130) fifth, coach Amier Khamis’ Porters would most likely have captured top honors if this had been a scored meet. With all of the other title winners beside Vicencio being returning IHSA qualifiers who had 39 or more victories last season and three-time finalist Heeney being a state champion for the second year in a row, the program hopes to claim its second state trophy in three years, assuming that most can qualify from the tough East Aurora Regional and then be among the fortunate who advance from the challenging Schaumburg Sectional. Vicencio improved to 21-9 after winning a 5-2 decision over Warren Township’s Hanna Bairstow in the 170 title match. The senior opened with a major decision and then won a 9-3 decision over Rolling Meadows’ Leilani Brindis in the semifinals.  

“I am very happy to be part of my team and help my team score and have us winning,” Vicencio said. “I think it’s very important for my team and me to bond together so we could be better in the future. In sectionals and regionals, I’m looking forward to wrestling really tough people so I could get even better and compete more. Hopefully in college, I could get even better. I love competing because with my teammates and me, competing together is always, it makes us even better as the days go by. Our team is really, really good. We have a bunch of supportive parents and supportive teammates and just friends being there. And I think that’s what helps all of us get through every tournament and match. It really helps your mindset a lot and it changes what you really think about the sport, and I really do like that.” 

Bairstow, who took first place at Mather and was 24-6 following the tournament, was the lone A bracket finalist for coach Nick Grujanac’s Blue Devils. The junior recorded pins in her first two matches, winning in 3:26 in the semifinals over Highland Park’s Lexi Rosenthal, who went on to claim third place by medical forfeit over Brindis. And in the fifth-place match, Palatine’s Aiva Wikar won by fall in 1:55 over Oak Park and River Forest’s Kayla George.

190 A – Irma Villa, Palatine 

Irma Villa captured her fifth title and advanced to a tournament finals for the sixth time in six attempts after winning the 190 A bracket title at Conant by recording a fall in 0:49 over Lockport Township’s Sophie Kelner. The Palatine sophomore, who improved to 23-1 after this title, also claimed first-place finishes at Fenton, Antioch, her own Berman Invite and Bolingbrook while taking second at Waukegan. She joined 135 runner-up Evelyn Arreola as one of two A bracket finalists for the Pirates after also getting pins in her first two matches, which included one in 3:40 in the semifinals over Yorkville’s Janiah Murray. Villa was one of seven individuals who tied for first in team points with 26. She hopes to become the second individual from Palatine to win a medal at the IHSA Finals, joining Jasmine Hernandez, who was third in 2023 and sixth in 2022.

“It feels really good,” Villa said. “I’ve been working hard. (Young wrestlers) It’s amazing. A lot of the girls are freshmen, and they’re new, and they don’t have much experience but they try and they don’t give up and they go to practice every day and they’ve helped to make the sport bigger. (Her team) They’re very kind, and they work hard. Even if they don’t have the most experience, they work and they try to get out there and wrestle and get more experience. (What she likes about the sport) A lot of things, my team, my coaches and being able to compete.”

Kelner, a senior who moved to 26-7 after becoming one of five finalists for coach Amier Khamis’ Porters, had four other top-four tournament finishes prior to Conant, taking first at Oswego East, second at Minooka, third at Morris and fourth at the Dan Gable Donnybrook in Iowa. A year ago, she was one of four Porters who qualified for the IHSA Finals and finished with a 42-14 record. Kelner followed a pin with a 2-1 decision in the semifinals over Larkin’s Jadelin Caballero, who bounced back from that setback to finish in third place by getting a pin in 2:51 over Murray. In the fifth-place match, Downers Grove South’s Zuza Cebulski won by fall in 4:42 over Evanston Township’s Fatima Gomez. And for seventh place, Lake Park’s Paige Washburn recorded a pin in 1:29 over Romeoville’s Mariyah Mani.

235 A – Rebekah Ramirez, Lockport Township 

Rebekah Ramirez capped a big day for Lockport Township at the Conant Tournament when she joined Veronica Skibicki (120), Claudia Heeney (140) and Myra Vicencio (170) as A bracket champions and runner-up Sophie Kellner (190) as one of five finalists for coach Amier Khamis’ Porters. The junior won a 7-3 decision over Romeoville’s Henessis Villagrana in the 190 finals to improve to 25-4 and capture her first tournament title of the season. She had also finished in third place at both the Ironman in Ohio and at Morris. A two-time IHSA qualifier, she went 43-11 last season after going 36-14 as a freshman and was a member of the team that claimed the initial second-place trophy in 2024 for coach Nathaniel Roth’s team that scored 58 points, which was just three points behind the first IHSA champions, Lakes Community. Ramirez won 3-0 in sudden victory in her initial match over Ottawa Township’s Juliana Thrush, a two-time state medalist, before recording a pin in 0:52 over Lake Zurich’s Ti’ara Saunders in the semifinals. 

“I think it’s pretty cool having that many girls in the finals,” Ramirez said. “No matter if it was the A bracket or the D bracket, I think all of us really wrestled tough. And I feel like we are pretty good at, win or lose, putting those matches behind you and focusing on the next one. I feel like that’s a big thing, especially in a tournament this long. (Competing for Lockport Township)

Probably the team atmosphere. I feel like we’re a really tight-knit team. Normally, we’re all just really close at practices or tournaments. We can all go out after. It’s fun just being up in the stands and cheering each other on and just having fun. The thing I like the most is probably just getting the opportunity to perform at these high-level tournaments. I feel like I get good exposure on the mat. I might have some tough matches, but I feel like that’s where you learn the most, getting the good competition. (Likes the most about wrestling) All of it. I love all of it. I love being able to go out and compete. I love the atmosphere of it. I love being able to learn things from different people and meeting people from different schools and getting the opportunity to go around and just do what I love.”

Villagrana, a junior who was the lone finalist in the A bracket for coach John Arlis’ Spartans, moved to 25-3 and advanced to her fourth tournament finals this season, capturing titles at Glenbard South and Oswego East and taking second at Minooka. An IHSA qualifier who went 22-10 last season, she recorded falls in her first two matches, winning in 2:54 in the semifinals over Lake Park’s Ameinah Hill, who wound up claiming third place by getting a pin in 2:39 over Saunders. In the fifth-place match, Thrush, a senior who placed sixth at 235 in the IHSA Finals in both 2025 and 2024 and went 35-7 last season, recorded a pin in 1:15 over Evanston Township’s Sophia Moreno.

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.

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)
