Jordan Blanton and Ryan Prater have been teammates, training partners, and friends since their teenage years. They first competed together on Illinois Inferno and as part of Team Illinois’ Fargo National Championship team. Both went on to become Illinois High School State Champions and continued their wrestling journeys at the University of Illinois, where they were roommates and competed side by side on the nationally ranked Fighting Illini team.
Their careers speak for themselves:
Jordan Blanton — 3x Illinois High School State Champion, 3X NCAA All-American for the Fighting Illini.
Ryan Prater — Illinois High School State Champion, NCAA National Champion for Elmhurst University.
After their competitive careers, life brought Jordan and Ryan even closer — both married sisters and returned home to Spring Grove, Illinois. Together, with their families by their side, they set out to build something they had envisioned for years: a training center where young wrestlers could experience the same level of passion, excellence, and relentless drive that shaped their own journeys.
That vision became Relentless Training Center — a place where champions are made on and off the mat.
