Fenwick Wrestling

Two things our Coach Cliff loves. U of I/Illini Football and Fenwick Wrestling. Today he got to see our man Jack Paris all suited up for the best of both worlds. As a long time season ticket holder, he'll be seeing Jack plenty 💪

What a dinner we all had. It's a pleasant treat when your seniors ask to have a dinner with the coaches before they depart for college. We ate, hung out and enjoyed the evening. Friars for life and we enjoyed the best Greek food in the city at the Athenian room

We had a WONDERFUL Friar Wrestling camp this week. It was for beginners looking to have some fun learning how to wrestle 💪 All our campers had a blast, learned from our high school team, and made some new friends too. It was our 1st one and Friar Wrestling looks forward to having one every summer 🤼‍♂️ GREAT job by all our campers and can't wait to see you on the mats again

A wonderful 2024/2025 banquet is in the books. Thank you to our senior moms and all our moms for making a great evening and setting the bar high for future banquets. The banquet signals that the season is really over, and it was an amazing year and so much to be proud of. Our seniors made it all 4 years and leave their program better and brighter than when they came in. We are very proud of the 2025 senior class, and they set the record with 13 seniors on the team. Fenwick Wrestling is a family. It was a night of laughs, tons of food, a whole table of sweets, tradition, Friar Pride, good times, and a senior class to be celebrated. The underclassmen look up to all you and will make you proud.
