The Naperville Wrestling Club Panthers took over 30 wrestlers to the Regional Tournament on Feb. 24th at York High School. It proved to be a long day, but we saw some great performances from several boys. TWENTY boys qualified for the Sectional Tournament next Saturday at East Aurora High School ... Great Job!
The curse of York High School? - For the second time in as many trips one of our guys suffered a season-ending injury while wrestling at York High School. While fighting during his semi-final match, one of our Novice Division wrestlers suffered what appeared to be a dislocated elbow, which required emergency transport. We don't know the extent of the injury, but we all wish Hunter a speedy and complete recovery.
End of the Year Banquet - Mark your calendar for Thursday, March 20th. If you have questions about the event please contact Tara Hunt at gtc_hunt@yahoo.com - It's going to be a great time.
Good-bye Coach Dan!
By now it is fairly common knowledge that the O'Brien family has relocated to Iowa. They've made the trip back for Danville and Regionals, and hope to come back for the Banquet. We were lucky to have Dan and his family as part of the program and wish them all a great life and continued success in Iowa.
Take care O'Briens ... and keep in touch!
