Congratulations to Dahlia Leighton. IHSA state qualifier in the inaugural IHSA Girls state tournament. Dahlia finished 2nd out of 16 girls in her sectional bracket.
Excited to have a member of our Ram Wrestling Family ranked
#3
in the state in the preseason rankings. This is only the beginning. Bigger things ahead for Nadiia and the rest of our program.
Waleed’s season came to an end with a loss this morning. I am so proud of all he was able to accomplish. He has come so far from where he started as a first year wrestler freshman year. All of his hard work paid off with a state birth. Congrats on a great season!
Great job by all of our Ram Wrestlers that chose to compete in Frosh/Soph Regionals. Congrats to our 4 sectional qualifiers Fred, Ismael, Cooper, and Amani.
Congrats to all of our T-shirt winners for week 1. Orlando, Eli, Ismael, Gus, Ralph, Lorenz, Danny, Braxton, Tommy, and Blake. Great job on a great first week of competition.
Wrestlers of the Week, 110% Award winners and Never give up Award winners for all 4 levels.
Luciana, Shane, Joel, Kedrick, Lucas, Cameron, Ethan, Wyatt, Blake, Jesus, and Ismael.
