State wrestling championships recap
March 01, 2015

 

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.
