Wrestling

For the first time in history, wrestling made it to the IHSA State finals thanks to senior Dylan Ervin. Wrestling in the 195 lb weight class, Ervin placed second in the state (3A) defeating Erick Cole of Rock Island HS, Kendale Cole of Oak Park HS, and Mason Delong of Bradley HS, setting him up for the finals against Christian Brunner of Carpentersville HS. “It’s such a blessing. It’s an unreal feeling. All the hard work I’ve put into the sport has finally paid off,” Ervin said about making history Metea. Congratulations to all the wrestlers on an amazing season!

Girls’ Basketball

This week, the Mustangs competed in their first, and last, regional game. A close one point defeat to Joliet West ended their season. “Overall it was a fun last season,” senior Cheynne Krehl said. “We had a lot of obstacles to overcome but we stuck together as a team and we grew as a team and individuals.” Just a few of the team’s many achievements this season include defeating rival Neuqua Valley and winning against Wheaton Warrenville South on Senior Night.
