51 Illinois youth have made one of the dozen age-based Top 100 Lists for nationwide juniors.
This includes an all-time high five Masters and seventeen Experts, marking a total of 22 juniors rated 2000 or higher.
Vincent Do will be representing Illinois at the Barber Championships (for K-8's) in Indianapolis starting next week. George Li, on the cusp of 2400, will be representing Illinois at the Denker Championships (for high schoolers) also in Indianapolis.
The ICA salutes all the youth listed below -- and their parents who work so hard to support the growth of their children.
The lists include Aria Hoesley for the first time, becoming the fourth Illinois female on the lists. While Aria has appeared on Top 100 lists specifically for girls before, it is believed this is the first time she has appeared on top 100 lists irrespective of gender. With five wins in the Under 2000 section of July's World Open, Aria's rating actually topped 1850 so we're likely to see her climbing even higher if she keeps up her progress.
