The tournament was held July 2 at the Shirk Center on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University, with wrestlers from first grade through college competing at varying weight classes and divisions.

Four wrestlers from Crawford County – Ben Mullins, Ian Rosborough, Kahne Hyre and Jared Hermann – all competed, with two of them bringing home some hardware.
