House Resolution 403 is a congratulatory resolution recognizing the Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 girls wrestling co-op team for winning the 2025 Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association (IWCOA) Girls Dual Team State Championship. The resolution highlights that the team, based at Lincoln-Way Central High School and open to female students from Lincoln-Way West and Lincoln-Way East, won the state title in the first dual-format girls team state championship tournament held in Illinois.
The resolution also celebrates individual athletes and Coach Josh Napier, noting the team’s perfect 19-0 season, multiple regional champions, state qualifiers, and the program’s growth under Napier’s leadership. It emphasizes that girls wrestling is one of the fastest-growing high school sports in the country and frames the team’s success as a notable achievement for the district and the state.
Impact
HR0403 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is purely ceremonial: it formally expresses the Illinois House of Representatives’ congratulations to the team and coach, and it places the team’s accomplishment into the official record of the General Assembly. No statutes are amended or affected, and no legal obligations are imposed on schools, athletes, or state agencies.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill text itself is entirely laudatory, and there is no recorded committee debate, vote controversy, or opposition in the provided materials. The resolution reflects broad support for recognizing student-athlete achievement, especially in a growing girls wrestling program.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because this is a ceremonial congratulatory resolution, it does not appear to raise policy disputes, fiscal concerns, or legal disagreements. The only substantive emphasis is on honoring the team, its coach, and the expansion of girls wrestling in Illinois.
