Ward Melville senior Nick Piccininni became the second wrestler in Long Island history to win four NYSPHSAA wrestling championships, defeating St. Anthony's senior Ben Lamantia 3-1 to claim the Division I 126-pound title Saturday in Albany.
Shoreham-Wading River's Jesse Jantzen was the first Long Island star to achieve the feat, capping his career in 2000. The most recent of the state's five previous four-time champs was Peru's Arik Robinson in 2011, and Troy Nickerson of Chenango Forks (2001-2005) is the only five-timer. Comments |
