By Gary Larsen for the IWCOA
Canton girls invitational
Geneseo snared the team title at this year’s 27-team Canton Girls Invitational for coach Carley Rusk, getting individual titles from Molly Snyder (100) and Lydia King (120) to lead the way among nine medalists finishing in the top six of their weight classes.
“The girls absolutely crushed it,” Rusk said. “Winning the title was a huge deal, and it really showed how hard they’ve been working. They came in focused and ready to compete, and it paid off. Overall, just a great team effort. The girls really came together and supported each other, and that made a huge difference.”
1st place: Geneseo (183 points)
In addition to individual titles from Snyder and King, Geneseo got seconds from Bella Curcuru (125), Rachel Roodhouse (135) and Mady Mooney (145), a third from Lauren Piquard (140), a fourth from Addison Hadsall (105) and a fourth from non-scoring Lily Roodhouse (135), and fifths from Ayla Schultz (130) and Sophie Bellagamba (155).
“Molly and Lydia were on fire,” Rusk said of her two champions. “Both wrestled great, stayed calm under pressure, and really led the way for the team. Both of their matches were against higher-seeded opponents. I was really proud of how they didn’t let that impact them and showed a lot of confidence on the mat.
“We had some other strong performances too—Bella, Mady, Lauren, Addie, Lily, Sophie, and Ayla all stepped up big time. Everyone played a role in getting that team title, and I’m proud of how everyone showed up.”
2nd place: Canton (126.5)
Canton’s girls were led by individual champions Chloe Hedges (115) and Kinnley Smith (130) among the Little Giants’ eight place-winners, including third-place finishes from LT Diephus (100) and Shayla Schielein (105), fourths from Abella Brown (100), Annalee Haschmeyer (120) and Katelyn Marvel (145), and a sixth from Kennedy Smith (140).

Mary Kelly Invitational
Morris topped the field at this year’s 21-team Mary Kelly Invitational, hosted by Mahomet-Seymour, winning 150-95.5 over the second-place team from Ft. Zumwalt, Missouri. LaSalle-Peru (93) finished third, followed by Urbana (80) and Carbondale (55) to round out the top five team finishes.
Twelve girls placed for Morris coach Lenny Trynor, led by individual champion Morgan Congo (190).
“Our girls team as a whole wrestled outstanding,” Trynor said. “There was a lot of really good competition there, that we haven’t wrestled yet, with teams from all over the state and even out of state.
“Our girls are a tight group that pull together and support each other and it took all of them to win the tournament.”
Mahomet-Seymour’s Mary Kelly Invitational is named after the first female former Illinois high school wrestler inducted into the IWCOA Hall of Fame, who wrestled on an all-boys team at Mahomet-Seymour in the early 2000s and was the first girl to ever win a match at the Illinois Dual Team State Tournament, in 2001. She was a Bulldogs team captain in her senior year, went on to shine in women’s international competition, and was a member of the U.S. National team for seven years after high school.
1st place: Morris (150 points)
In addition to getting an individual title from Morgan Congo (190), Morris got second-place finishes from Ellie Evans (100), Zara Lugo (125) and Nicolette Boelman (155), thirds from Brooklyn Bankowski (120), Tessa Neikirk (135) and Olyve Havens (140), fourths from Makensi Martin (115) and Savannah Vignali (145), fifths from Maggie Gordon (110) and Dulce Xique (135), and a sixth from Mia Garcia (145).
“Morgan Congo has been wrestling great for us this year,” coach Lenny Trynor said “She is a returning state qualifier and has her eyes on the podium for this year. She really dominated her weight class today. She is hoping to continue her wrestling career at Illinois Wesleyan next year.”
Morris also got another strong performance from Ellie Evans.
“She is another senior that has been tough for us this year,” Trynor said. “She is down a couple weight classes from last year and is focused on making a state run herself. She has been placing very high in all the tournaments we’ve been at.
“Zara Lugo is a first year wrestler and just keeps getting better every time she steps on the mat, and Nicolette Boelman usually wrestles 145 for us but moved up a weight class to score more points for the team. She had an outstanding tournament with three pins and one major decision. She’s another one of our wrestlers that just won’t give up on the mat.”
2nd place: Ft. Zumwalt, MO (95.5)
The team from Ft. Zumwalt, Missouri, brought seven girls to Mahomet-Seymour and four of them won individual titles in Kate Cochran (100), Reaghan Jones (105), Aliyah Lorenson (155), and Addison Cooper (170). Ft. Zumwalt also got a fourth-place finish from Baylie Wehmeyer (140).
3rd place: LaSalle-Peru (93)
The Lady Cavaliers got second-place finishes from Sarah Lowery (110), Kiely Domyancich (115) and Emily Lowery (120), a third from Kalista Frost (100), and fifths from Emma Tomlinson (125), Ruby Davis (130) and Avalyn Edwall (140).
Individual champions:
Other wrestlers winning individual titles were Litchfield’s Rilynn Younker (110), Mt. Zion’s Sydney Cannon (115), Carbondale’s Kathleen Loyola (120), Mattoon’s Leonie Dubson (125), Centennial’s Ava Beldo (130), Rochelle’s Cammyla Macias (135), Urbana’s Rickasia Ivy (140), Rochelle’s Dempsey Atkinson (145), and Urbana’s Lily DiSanto (235).
Closest title-match finishes:
The championship match at 130 went to overtime, where Centennial’s Ava Beldo won a 13-10 decision on an overtime takedown against Champaign Central’s Londyn Grant.
In a wild one at 125, Mattoon’s Leonie Dubson won an 18-15 decision for the title against Morris’ Zara Lugo.
Individual highlights:
Litchfield’s Rilynn Younker finished the tournament with the most pins (5) in the least time (6:19), Charleston’s Olivia Rosine had the fastest pin (10 seconds), while Ft. Zumwalt’s Baylie Wehmeyer posted the fastest tech fall in 1:42. Urbana’s Rickasia Ivy, Litchfield’s Younker, Ft. Zumwalt’s Kate Cochran, and Rochelle’s Cammyla Macias tied for the most team points scored by an individual with 26.

Lady Raptor varsity invite at Rich Township
Joliet West had eight wrestlers place in the top six of their weight classes to win this year’s inaugural 21-team Lady Raptor Varsity Invitational, hosted by Rich Township. Coach Erik Murry’s Tigers topped Joliet Central 196.5-155.5 to take top honors, followed by Rolling Meadows (76.5), Peotone (72) and Antioch (70.5) to round out the top five team finishes. Host Rich Township placed sixth.
The fact that Joliet West and Joliet Central did battle for the top spot added a layer of intrigue to the tournament, for reasons in both the distant and recent past.
“Many of the girls are friends because they were together on the Joliet Township Co-Op last year,” Joliet West coach Erik Murry said. “I was especially proud of these girls because the whole team was going through a mental slump during some tough duals last week. As a matter of fact, we lost to Joliet Central the night before, and you can tell that the girls were very disappointed with the outcome.
“It was an honor to win the inaugural Rich Township Lady Invite. The Invite sparked something, and they came out better prepared mentally and physically.”
1st place: Joliet West (196.5)
The Tigers got individual titles from Chloe Wong (105), Briahna Klobnak (125) and Natalie Quiroz (235) to lead the way to a team title in Richton Park. Joliet West also got seconds from Takyla Johnson (100), Veronica Klobnak (140) and Trista Pisano (190), and fourths from Willow Perruquet (120) and Majh Starks (155).
“We had quite a few matches that turned in our favor from the previous night against (Joliet) Central. Champions Briahna Kloblak and Natalie Quiroz have been our leaders and are improving every week. We’re also elated to finally get senior captain Chloe Wong back in the lineup, and see her make an immediate impact with a first-place finish at 105.
“Overall, this was a solid tournament to build off of, and the team understands that going forward into the SPC Conference tournament next Friday.”
2nd place: Joliet Central (155.5)
Coach Marcus McCullum’s Steelwomen got an individual title from Izabel Barrera (135), a second-place finish from Jewel Mister (235), third-place finishes from Kassandra Ruiz (100), Alisa Carter (105), Melissa Aguirre (125), April Ortiz (130) and Emma Guethle (165), and a fourth from Valeria Hernandez (190).
3rd place: Rolling Meadows (76.5)
Aiaishah Sanchez (155) won an individual championship for coach Eric Kohlberg’s Mustangs, who also got thirds from Ziza Sanchez (140) and Janet Brindis (145), and a fourth from Leilani Brindis (170).
Individual champions:
Other individual champs at Rich Township were De La Salle’s Anapaula Cerna-Rivera (100), Tinley Park’s Jayden Melendez (110), Lindblom’s Danita Palmore (115), De La Salle’s Iliana Heredia (120), Durand’s Evie Anderson (130), Mother McAuley’s Maggie Zuber (140), Cumberland’s Natalie Beaumont (145), Hampshire’s Annelise Tavira (170), and Guilford’s Anjanne Haywood (190).
Closest title-match finishes:
Tinley Park’s Jayden Melendez and Durand’s Ireland Dolan squared off for a good one in the championship match at 110, with Melendez edging Dolan by 3-2 decision.
Individual highlights:
Antioch’s Sasha Johnson posted the most pins (4) in the least amount of time (3:32) at Rich Township, while Joliet West’s Chloe Wong had the most tech falls (2) in the least time (6:58). Joliet West’s Natalie Quiroz had the fastest fall in 17 seconds, Wong had the fastest tech fall in 1:57, and De La Salle’s Iliana Heredia scored the most team points of any wrestler with 28. Antioch’s Dylylah Patterson had the most single-match points with 21, De La Salle’s Mia Vargas had the most total match points with 50, and the largest seed-place difference went to Guilford’s Layla Roy, who was seeded 13th and placed second at 130 pounds.
