DGS Wrestling Pre-Season Begins!!!

It didn't take the 2013-2014 DGS Mustangs Wrestling team long to get into action for the pre-season.  Pre-season wrestling workouts started on Tuesday, September 10th at Patriot Gym in Downers Grove.  The sessions are being led by Patriot part-owner and trainer Joe Manzello.  Joe has wrestled and coached on the national level in USA Wrestling and is a great coach of the sport of wrestling.  Throughout the first week, over 20 Mustangs took part in the workouts along with wrestlers from Downers Grove North and Hinsdale South.  This offsite pre-season program is a great and affordable opportunity for DGS Wrestlers to take their pre-season training to the next level.

Fall strength and conditioning also began on Monday, September 16th.  Wrestlers will lift Monday and Wednesday after school from 3:30-4:30 PM and before school on Friday from 6:20-7:15 AM.  Wrestlers will continue to use the Olympic lifts as their basis for their strength and conditioning program.

Any questions on wrestling or weight training workouts should be directed to Coach Lovelace (slovelace@csd99.org, D174).

Also, on deck for the Mustangs is the 4th Annual DGS Wrestling Tailgate.  This will take place on Friday, September 20th at 5:30 PM prior to the Varsity Football game vs the Morton Mustangs.  Wrestlers, family, and friends are all welcome and encouraged to attend this event.  We will have hot dogs, chips, and water available for everyone, as well as plenty of opportunities to lose to Coach Lovelace in Baggo.

Any questions on the 4th Annual DGS Wrestling Tailgate should also be directed to Coach Lovelace.
