Why he was selected: Ancog, a senior, captured the 157-pound championship at the Vernon Hills Cougar Thanksgiving Invite on Saturday as the Skyhawks placed runner-up as a team.

For his performance, Ancog was selected as the Northwest Herald Athlete of the Week in an online vote. Huntley wrestling’s Janiah Slaughter, McHenry basketball’s Adam Anwar and Jacobs basketball’s Malachi Bell also were nominated.

Ancog answered a few questions from the Northwest Herald about his goals for the rest of the season and more.

What is one thing that people don’t know about you?

Ancog: One thing that I hope people know about me is that I’m a devoted Christian, and my faith is an important part of who I am.
