It was a historical weekend for Shawn Retta. The senior became just the 2nd wrestler in program history to reach 100 career wins, and then became the Titans' all-time wins leader. Retta also became Keansburg's first ever SCT finalist, and his 2nd-place finish gave the Titans just their second ever medalist at the SCT.

2026 Keansburg Titans
Head Coach: Thomas Anderson (2nd Season in 2026)
Assistants: Uriel Morfin / Nic Vloyanetes / John Thornton
Section: CJG1 / Division: G / District: 17 / Region: 5
A pretty even mix to this year's Keansburg lineup with youth in the lower half, and the experience in the upper half.
Senior captains Shawn Retta and Michael Burke lead things up top. Burke is a 4-year starter who has placed 4th at Districts in each of the past two seasons. Retta is looking to become the second wrestler in program history to reach 100 career wins, as the 2-time District medalist opens the season with 80 wins. They form a veteran core up top alongside fellow returning lettermen junior Michael Clayton, who placed 4th at Districts, sophomore Justin Hallard, and seniors Ayden Graf and Matteo Mosca.
It will be a very young group in the lower half of the lineup, with the exception of senior Bryar Gilliland, a senior who won 18 matches last season and was 4th at Districts. Other than that the lower half projects to be mostly underclassmen, including returning starter Justin Way, who is looking to build off the experience gained from being in the lineup last season.
