○ Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: “As long as I keep the matches close and get good experience from them, I’m happy. But I’m not going to go out there thinking I’m done. I’m going to try to win every match and go as hard as I can," Kilroy said to Patch in a .

While six of the team's wrestlers advanced to sectionals, only Kilroy made it down to Champaign this weekend (walking in with a 31-8 individual record). According to the IHSA website, Kilroy moved to the championship quarterfinal round, where he was defeated by Newman Central Catholic's Jake Snow.

Congratulations, Ryan!
