Conference Highlights Suburban West National Division Seckman The Seckman Wrestling program has had a lot of success the past several years. They have been able to bring back 3 state trophies in past 5 years (2011 4th Place, 2012 3rd Place, and 2015 4th Place). The Jaguars have won 4 out of the last 5 District Championships, 4 Suburban South Conference Championships, and a Suburban West -‐ National Division Championship. 2015 was highlighted with a 4th Place finish at the state tournament with 4 state medalist (Weston Basler-‐ State Champ, Luke Weiland and Cameron Fusco-‐ Runner-‐Up, and Zack Durbin-‐ 5th). The Jaguars won their 4th District Championship in 5 years. The Jaguars took home first place in the All St. Louis Suburban Wrestling Championship and 4 out of the last 5. They had 4 individual champions at the ASLSWC: Cameron Fusco, Zack Durbin, Luke Weiland (Outstanding Wrestler Award), and Cole Jenkins. The program has been lead by one of the best coaching staffs in the area, if not the state. Cody Greene has recently stepped down to fulfill other possible life challenges, but has been nothing less than amazing leading this program. His predecessor, Ryan Moyer, will be able to continue what Greene has done the last 5 years. The Seckman Wrestling Program has been lucky to have an incredible fan base that includes former alumni and Little League Wrestlers striving to be a Jaguar. This family aspect has definitely contributed to the success and is visible in any wrestling tournament or match in which they compete. The wrestlers in this program have the support and coaching to reach all of their goals. Their main goal is simple, compete and bring home a state championship.

Suburban XII South Division Webster Groves The 2014-‐2015 school year was a very successful one for the athletic programs at Webster Groves High School. Our boys soccer team led the way by winning their first district championship since 1987 and going on to win the MSHSAA Class 3 state championship; our first soccer state championship in school history. The boys soccer team finished the season with a 12 game winning streak and an overall record of 24-‐5-‐1. The Statesmen were led offensively by junior Sheriden Smith who scored 20 goals on the season, but a strong defense is what carried the team with 17 of their 24 wins coming by shutout. Perhaps the best thing about our boys soccer team's state championship season is that they did it with 13 juniors on the roster who will be returning to defend their championship as seniors this fall. The Webster Groves High School girls soccer team also had an outstanding season. The girls amassed a record of 28-‐3 and advanced to the state final four for the first time since 1987 taking 3rd place in Class 3. The girls team also set a state record with 24 shutouts this season. Finally, we had two other teams place well in state competition. Our girls lacrosse team advanced to their final four before losing in the state semifinal and our girls track team placed 5th at the state meet barely missing a top four placement by half a point. We are looking forward to another great school year and high expectations for our teams in 2015-‐2016.
