We will once again be kicking off the year with our annual 2018 DGS Wrestling Tailgate! The tailgate will be held on Friday, September 21st starting at 5:30 PM before the Mustangs take on the Addison Trail Trail Blazers for their Homecoming game. All wrestlers, family, DGS Wrestling alumni, and of course new Mustang recruits are welcome. We will have music, free food (as long as it lasts), bags, and SpikeBall. This has become one of our favorite annual events because it's not only a great way for the program to get back together but also a great way of bringing in some new blood to the program. We are looking to host our most well-attended event yet so please plan on coming by next Friday at 5:30 PM!
2018 PRE-SEASON UPDATE
The 2018-2019 Mustangs who are not in a fall sport are already in the swing of things as we have started our pre-season wrestling and strength & conditioning. We are holding our pre-season wrestling at the new state of the art UFC-Downers Grove gym on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00-5:30 PM. The kids have enjoyed training at the gym and we hope to continue this partnership with UFC-DG for years to come. Our strength & conditioning efforts have never been better as this year we have officially brought on Coach Dan Vida from MFC Sports Performance in Darien as our lead strength & conditioning coach for the fall, in-season, and spring programs. In addition to a strong strength & conditioning background, Coach Dan also wrestled at Neuqua Valley High School and will bring that knowledge to the table as well.
2018 OFF-SEASON POINTS LEADERS
Finally, two weeks ago the top three off-season point leaders from each of the classes went out to celebrate their efforts at Mago Cantina & Grill in Bolingbrook. It was a great meal and celebration of a lot of hard work that was put in this past off-season. We are extremely excited about this group we have this year!
