Across 7 locations, Beat The Streets Chicago brought 27 wrestlers to the 2024 IKWF State Championships in Rockford last weekend. In an incredible effort, 10 of our wrestlers placed with 8 finalists & 3 state champions. 

The IKWF State Championships culminates the end of a long season for our youth wrestlers. It is amazing to see their month’s of dedication pay off on the big stage! 

Accolades aside, these wrestlers gained pivotal life experience at a young age. Whether it be learning how to win with humility or lose with integrity, our wrestlers learned something about themselves. Therefore, setting the table for new goals next season.
