MORRIS HOLIDAY CLASSIC
With two champions and 14 total girls contributing team points, Schaumburg cruised to the title of the 27-team Morris Holiday Classic. The Saxons won 467-388 over second-place West Aurora, Minooka (338) took third, with DeKalb (287.5) and Canton (260) rounding out the top five team finishes.
“I would say the thing that impressed me most was that all the girls placed high and were able to make adjustments to their technique within the tournament itself,” Schaumburg coach Matt Gruszka said. “I was happy to see them becoming students for the sport.”
1st place: Schaumburg (467 points)
Madeline Zerafa-Lazarevic (145) and Nadia Razzak (190) earned individual titles for the Saxons. Sharon Olofunfemi (135) placed second and Schaumburg got thirds from Madyson Meyer (115), Isabella Rivas (125), and Alya Razzak (170), a fourth from Mia Phelps (105), fifths from Makenzi Aguilar (100), Justice Girod (110), and Anna Villarreal (120), a seventh from Shreya Gosain (155), and an eighth from Ava Hartman (140). Also scoring team points were Lauren Brehmer (130) and Abbey Rogers (235).
“Madeline Zerafa-Lazarevic and Nadia Razzak both had fantastic days,” Gruszka said. “The tournament set up allowed for many matches with the pool play to start and then into the different brackets. It actually mimicked what the dual team state championship is set up like. So that was great for the girls.”
The IWCOA’s girls dual team state tournament takes place Saturday, Dec. 28 at Hoffman Estates.
2nd place: West Aurora (388)
West Aurora had five wrestlers finish in the top six of their weight classes. The Blackhawks got a pair of individual titles from Kameyah Young (110) and Aiyanah Sylvester (125), a second from Giselle Marin-Carrasco (140), a fourth from Brittany Moran (235), and a sixth from Brooklyn Czenk (190).
3rd place: Minooka (338)
Eight girls finished in the top six for Minooka, led by a runner-up finish from Holli Coughlen (120). Minooka also got thirds from Palmer Calvey (145) and Mia Lemberg (155), a fourth from Ezra Rodriguez (140), fifths from Kailey Jefferson (125) and Addison Davis (170), and sixths from Maggie Metke (115) and Sabrina Charlebois (130).

LAKES SNOW BRAWL
Lakes’ 12-team Snow Brawl provided fans with a razor-thin difference among the top three team finishes, with host Lakes ultimately out-pointing second-place Kaneland 122.5-120 for the team title. St. Charles East (116) placed second, followed by Freeport (104) and Lyons Township (82) to round out the top five.
Lakes was crowned Illinois’ team state champion last year, after scoring the most team points at the individual girls’ state finals. Lakes graduated two state medal winners but returned state runner-up Josie Larson (190) to this year’s squad.
“We have some new blood, two sophomores and two freshmen, who all have winning records so far,” Lakes coach Mark Stave said. “I am very optimistic about this young bunch.”
1st place: Lakes (122.5)
The Eagles were spearheaded by individual champions Christina Hasner (145) and Josie Larson (190), and got runner-up finishes from Lilyann Blasius (120) and Elise Kaylor (135), thirds from Lovely Calinog (100), Haven Sylves (110), and Osmari Medina (115), a fourth from Timyra Caces (100), and a sixth from Michelle Otuonye (140).
“We’ve placed in the top five in all three of our previous tournaments with only nine roster spots filled,” Stave said. “Josie is an incredible captain for this year’s team and she leads by example on and off the mat.”
Larson is 16-0 with 16 pins thus far this season.
2nd place: Kaneland (120.5)
Kaneland led all teams with three individual champions in Angelina Gochis (115), Brooklyn Sheaffer (125), and Dyani Torres (140).
