2022 Raiders Wrestling

Head Coach
Warren Reid - 42nd Season (Career Record: 421-354-7)

Where They Open
12/18: IceBreaker Tournament @ Old Bridge

 

A tough offseason for the Raiders that saw them lose three starters to graduation, including State Medalist Michael Conklin, a couple talented returners transferring, and a couple more projected starters not wrestling this season. As as result, the Raiders will have to have replace half of last season's starting lineup.

Three starters are back down low. Senior Zach Gorlin enters his 3rd season as a starter for the Raiders, and will look to provide some veteran leadership in the lowerweights. Sophomores, Jaton Wellington and Richie Kulessa, are looking to build off the experience gained from starting as freshmen during last year's shortened season. 

East has a solid pair of returners in the middle. Senior Joe McCullough is a 3-time Region Qualifier, and advanced to Atlantic City in 2020 after finishing 4th in Region 5. He's joined by 3rd-year starter, Nicholas DeLorenzo, giving the Raiders some stability in the middle of the lineup. 

Senior Ariel Lopez and junior Gage Grosso bring experience into an upperweight group that will also be breaking in some new faces into the lineup. Lopez, has been a fixture since his senior season, and has 34 varsity matches to his credit. Grosso started at 195 for the Raiders last season, and also got 10 matches in as a freshman in 2020. Among the newcomers entering the lineup is freshman James Lynch, who joins the Raiders after a solid career at the youth level, winning multiple State Medals.

As mentioned, East took some tough losses in the offseason. Still the team is working hard and with their loaded schedule, which includes the A-South gauntlet , will be looking to get better and better as the season rolls on.
