BUILD YOURSELF
Gold medals aren’t really made of gold.
They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.

As we enter the final quarter of high school for the 2024 senior class, we look back on the last 4 seasons: From 2021-2024, Rock Island Wrestling had 28 individual State Qualifers, 11 State Medalists, 5 State Finalists, 3 State Champions, 2 Team Regional titles, a Team Sectional title, and an Elite 8 appearance at the Team State Tournament.
4 Rocks wrestled today in the IL v. IN All-Star Dual! Truth Vesey took out Indiana's 4th Place finisher 6-3, Andrew Marquez won by tech fall over another Indiana 4th place finisher, Daniel McGhee lost to an Indiana State Champion, while Amare Overton defeated an Indiana State Champion! IL won the dual 37-22, in case there was any doubt which state is better.
A picture of Washington State Qualifiers, State Champions, and coaches, and a picture of the 4 IESA State Medalists from both Washington and Edison!
IESA State Champion Tristan Williams! Tristan had 3 pins and 1 tech fall on his run to the title! He’s only a 7th grader, so he’s got another year to do it again before coming to the high school!
Some serious Rock Island Wrestling history here in 1 photo. In the 4th place spot is Daniel Htoo of Edison Junior High, and on top of the podium is IESA State Champion from Washington Junior High, Jayden Allison! Two future Rocks made the same award stand!
Thaliyah Nimmers, a 6th grader at Frances Willard, took 7th place the first ever IKWF Girls State Tournament today!
