Roadrunner Wrestling begins their 2022-23 season this week, and head coach Alex Reeves hopes to continue a proud tradition of success enjoyed by the program the past few seasons.

In his first year as head coach, Reeves guided the team to a national championship tournament qualifying berth, and produced an All-American wrestler (Nick DiGiacomo), six national qualifiers, and two District champions.

This year's roster will feature a mix of experienced wrestlers and talented freshmen, and Reeves is hoping the program will continue on a winning path once again. See season preview below.

Season Preview
Coach: Alex Reeves, second year; former Roadrunner Assistant Coach; former Assistant Coach at Clayton High School and Irvington High School.

Assistant Coaches: Paul Toppin, Mark Fischer, Pete DiPol, Ryan DiGiacomo

Last Season: The Roadrunners returned to the NJCAA National Championship Tournament for a third straight year and again emerged as Garden State Athletic Conference champions. The program produced All-American wrestler Nick DiGiacomo, two District champions, and six national qualifier wrestlers.

Season Opener: Friday, November 4th, vs. Rutgers Club, 6 pm, Deptord, NJ.

Key Returnees: Shamar Baines, 125 pounds; Andrew Knorr, 157; Justin Dougherty, 165; Tion Cherry, 197.

Newcomers: Mike Amoriello, FR;, and Eddie Tottenham, FR, 133 pounds; Alberto Rubi, 149 pounds; Matt Mushinsk (transfer), 174; Bobby Meister (Caesar Rodney High), heavyweight.

Outlook for 2022-23: The Runners have enough depth and experience to compete once again for a GSAC title and a National Tournament berth. Reeves will rely on his lightweights and middleweights to carry most of the load in dual meets.

Coach Alex Reeves on 2022-23 season: "We don't have a large number of kids on the roster, but we have some quality athletes," said Reeves. "I feel we will be very competitive, especially as we move toward the postseason."
