Why he was selected: Bosco’s run to a 3A Naperville Central Regional title included falls in 11 and 22 seconds

Marmion junior wrestler Anthony Bosco might well be joining uncharted territory as the latest St. Charles Bank & Trust-Kane County Chronicle Athlete of the Week. Bosco spent just 6:33 competing this week, as he notched falls in 11 seconds (quarterfinals) and 22 seconds (semifinals) before defeating Batavia freshman Michael Doranski for the regional title by 15-5 major decision Saturday. Bosco, a St. Charles resident, secured the first of the Cadets’ individual championships as Marmion also won a team regional title. Chronicle sports reporter Kevin Druley recently spoke with Bosco about his tournament. The following is an edited transcript:

Did it feel weird being on the mat for the whole six [minutes] in the championship match?
Not really. I mean, I’ve trained for it all year, so I was ready for it. I’m in good shape now. Just a couple technical things at the end of the match, but my conditioning was good.
