  by Everlett. Without the right mindset, Oswego East's Ella Cooper
• 0:22
  wouldn't be winning wrestling tournaments. Cooper won the one hundred
• 0:26
  and forty five pound title during Saturday's inaugural Break the
• 0:28
  Silence tournament at Oswego East, where special t shirts were
• 0:32
  sold to help raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
• 0:35
  Funds will be donated to the Kendall County Health Department.
• 0:39
  It was just having the right mindset and making sure
• 0:41
  I was happy, Cooper said, and healthy eating of course
• 0:44
  I had to eat, and just keeping my energy up.
• 0:45
  It was awesome. Last year I was almost in first
• 0:48
  place at regionals but dislocated my elbow. So it's awesome
• 0:51
  to get back into the sport and be fully recovered
• 0:53
  in everything. Cooper earned pins against Mattea Valley's Jordan Slager
• 0:58
  two point forty six, Rich Township's Cheyenne Hare two fifty
• 1:02
  two and East Aurora's Guadalupe Cassiano one thirty five. Before
• 1:07
  battling past Lincoln Way co ops Ella Jiirtuga nine to
• 1:11
  six in her title match. Freshman Julia Robb took second
• 1:15
  at one hundred and fifty five. For the Wolves, Gianna
• 1:18
  Edwards one fifty five took fourth, Emily House won thirty five,
• 1:22
  placed fifth, and Ella World's one twenty five took sixth.
• 1:26
  I think it's really important that this brings awareness because
• 1:29
  when they first brought it up, I thought that's a
• 1:31
  really nice idea because I've never heard of a tournament
• 1:34
  being about bringing awareness to a cause before. Rob said,
• 1:38
  I thought it was nice with the t shirts and everything.
• 1:40
  I was glad to be a part of it. She
• 1:43
  was also glad to get to the finals, a new
• 1:45
  experience in itself. Unfortunately, Bloomington's Alicia Swank took her down
• 1:50
  by fall in the title match at four thirty one.
• 1:53
  I've never gotten to a championship before, so I was
• 1:55
  really happy with that, she said. I think coming to
• 1:58
  practice and working more from this, especially since she was
• 2:00
  very strong, so coming in and working with stronger opponents
• 2:03
  and practicing different positions to see how I can learn
• 2:06
  from them. The Panthers had a couple advanced to the finals,
• 2:10
  but fall short as Joselyn Sheets lost by fall to
• 2:12
  lincoln Way co Ops. Lived Clumpner at one fifty nine
• 2:15
  in the one to thirty five final, and Ashland Roberts
• 2:18
  got taken down by Clumpner's teammate Riley Depolo at one
• 2:21
  forty three in the one seventy final. Savannah Martel Kunones
• 2:25
  one oh five took fourth and Nina Witkowski won twenty
• 2:28
  five place fifth for the Panthers, Mackenzie Steink one hundred,
• 2:33
  Emmy Hosselton one hundred and five and Zoe Dempsey one
• 2:37
  hundred and twenty joined Klumpner and De Paulo among lincoln
• 2:41
  Way co Ops five champions. Saint Charles East's Sydney StEB
• 2:46
  captured the title at one hundred and ten, earning a
• 2:49
  tech fall against lincoln Way co Ops. Zoey zeriel I
• 2:54
  was happy with the way I wrestled. Steve said, there
• 2:57
  are things I can still improve on, but so far,
• 2:59
  I think my season has been pretty good, and I'm
• 3:01
  liking the way I'm wrestling, and I keep improving. I
• 3:04
  just keep attacking. I kept scoring points and shooting. Sofia
• 3:09
  Espinoza one oh five took third. For the Saints, while
• 3:12
  Sofia Revas one fifteen was sixth. York's Charlie Dolan earned
• 3:17
  a tech fall win over Homewood Flospmore's London Gandhy to
• 3:22
  snag the title at one hundred and twenty five. I
• 3:25
  just love training and just kind of pushing myself to
• 3:29
  be the best version I can be, Dolan said, I
• 3:32
  just like wrestling. When I first stepped on the mat,
• 3:35
  I just loved it. I have an older brother who
• 3:37
  I used to wrestle with, but never that serious. But
• 3:40
  I enjoyed being able to just wrestle basically, and I
• 3:44
  just like training. I just like wrestling. Andy Brown one
• 3:48
  oh five took third place for the Dukes, while Evangeline
• 3:51
