The wrestlers took 1st place in the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) regional tournament - out of nine teams. With wrestlers in only 12 of the 14 weight classes, Ida Crown wrestlers had four in 1st place, four in 2nd place and four in 3rd place. Every member of the team contributed to the victory.
The team is the first Jewish high school wrestling team to win at the regional level and the first time that any ICJA sports team has won at this level.
The regional was a very close three-way race between ICJA, defending champs Walther Lutheran, and Gordon Tech. ICJA edged Gordon Tech by 4.5 points & Walter Lutheran by 5 points. It was the most closely-contested 1A region in the state. Both Walther and Gordon are strong squads with state-ranked wrestlers. This marks the best team result for any Jewish wrestling team ever in any comparable competition. It also marks one of the few times a Jewish high school sports team has won a state qualification tournament in any sport in the country.
Following are the individual scores:
106 Noah Lewis 2nd place
113 Sammy Magid 2nd place
120 Zach Cohn 1st place
126 Zack Bernstein 1st place
132 Nirel Kakon 1st place
