2019/2020 LAKELAND PREDATORS WRESTLING CLUB REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

Thank you to these hammers that came down and rolled with us tonight.

Ringers down in Illinois battling with the Predators getting them ready for Illinois State. Thanks for having us.

The 2020 Illinois Bantam Championships are officially in the books! Job well done by all of the Predators! We came with 10 Predators looking for some tough competition and they all stepped up to the challenge with 5 of them placing and earning All-State honors! Grady took first, Lila and Joe finished 2nd, Jaxon and Kenny rounded out the placements taking 6th place! Some very tough wrestling by Colton, Tate, Jaxson, Diego, and Annebelle as well!

A huge congratulations to Grady Glowacki for winning the Future Finalist Series Championship belt. Grady was 1 of 4 wrestlers in the entire state of Illinois recognized for his achievements before the start of 2020 Illinois Bantam Championships. Grady earned this belt by taking 1st Place at the Jon Davis Kids Open, Future Finalists and IKWF Regionals and taking 2nd place at USA Wrestling’s Winter Nationals. Congrats Grady and good luck to all the Predators competing at the Illinois Bantam Championships today! @ Bolingbrook High School

A huge congratulations to our Lakeland Predator 2020 IKWF State Qualifiers - Jacob Smith and Grayson Lennon!

Johnny Carson also wrestled well with a 3rd place medal in the intermediate division, however, intermediates don’t advance to state.

Congrats to all of our Sectional qualifiers on a fine season. #topofthefoodchain #lakelandpredators @ Glenbrook South High School

Predators putting in some work!

Truth! Something to keep in mind as the competition gets tougher and the stakes get higher.

Wrestling parents,
Kids state is underway in most states. It's an exciting time but if you're like me (and most kids), it can be a time of heart break hotel for the kids competing. Here is legendary coach Mike Powell on how to talk to your kid after a tough loss.

Congratulations to these former Lakeland Predators and current Antioch Community High School wrestlers for their Iliinois 2A Team State 4th place finish. We are proud of you all!

It truly was a great day of wrestling at the IKWF North Chicago Regional with the Lakeland Predators crowning 9 regional champions! We also had 10 of our Intermediate, Novice and Senior wrestlers qualify for sectionals.

Congratulations to all of our Sectional Qualifiers!
