After a monumental 2023-2024 season for Red Raiders Wrestling, expectations for the 2024-2025 team could not be greater. A squad that returns three NYS federation place winners added a handful of student-athletes new to the school this year, including three of last season’s Section VI champions, two of whom are defending NYS finalists.
The Raiders will be under new leadership as well this season with the promotion of previous assistant coach Ron Lorenz to the head coach position, replacing long-time head man Mike Messore. Lorenz joined the staff in the 2020-2021 season, and previously led Lancaster for thirteen years capturing five league titles and a Section VI Dual Meet title, amongst a number of other accomplishments.
