Hello demolition Families:
What an amazing weekend of wrestling! As Demolition Coaches, we are ecstatic for the growth of each of our wrestlers this year. We are especially proud of our wrestlers that have taken the next step in their wrestling journey during this state series. Congratulations to Gunner Laterawicsz and Josh Strode for winning the Bantam Championships and Natalie Roberts and Dominic Soto as runners-up last week. As a team, we placed 3rd out of 90 teams represented. This week, we had 7 wrestlers compete in the IKWF, IESA, and Folkstyle Girls State Tournament. Congratulations to the IKWF 108 lbs Novice State Champion Tommy Banas and IESA 70 lbs State Champion Jaxson Roberts! It was such an incredible experience for our wrestlers, coaches, and families. Congratulations to IESA 65 lbs Runner-Up Ryder Gill, IESA 135 lbs 4th Place Naseem Jaber, and IL Girls Folkstyle 3rd Place Addison Cailteux. Great work battling to get on the podium! Finally, congratulations to Dakota Harmon and Logan DeMarco for earning State Qualifier status this year. We will continue to work and grind to get better every week.
This weekend, we will wrestle at the IL Midget Championships in Bedford Park for our Intermediate and below wrestlers. Weighins will take place at Midwest Battleground, 12648 Old Plank Road, New Lenox on Friday from 4:00-7:00pm. Wrestling will take place on Saturday and Sunday. Good luck to all of our Demolition Wrestlers battling this weekend.

Our off-season schedule will be posted this week. We will be running both Freestyle/Greco (for experienced wrestlers), Folkstyle (for inexperienced/young wrestlers), and All Girl sessions along with strength and conditioning. We will offer monthly plans along with drop-in options. For those playing baseball and/or other spring and summer sports, we encourage you to keep your wrestler engaged and developing wrestling skills and physical development. Keep on grinding!
