2023-24 Outlook: We had a great turnout this season, with over 25 wrestlers joining the team. They are led by a core group of experienced seniors Ricky Kenna, Cael Heaney, Max Pfeifer, Pete Almedia, Rafael Dinarte, Jayden Mantilla, and Eric Irizarry, all of whom have significant varsity experience.
Additionally, Stephen Korte (27-11- DXI 6th as a 9th grader), Chris Jacobacci, and Blake Carroll bring valuable experience to the team. Two upperclassmen, Nik Schwartz and Owen Acker, are also returning to the team this season, both of whom have the potential to secure spots in the starting lineup.
The entire team has been working diligently in preparation for the season and is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to compete.
