Cody Krumwiede of Waverly-Shell Rock (IA) started the season as our top heavyweight and will finish that way after going 45-1 and winning his 3rd Iowa 3A State Title. At state he would record 3 pins, then would major Brodie Berrie (H.M.) in the state finals 10-0 to finish with a 178-9 career record. Cody...
Andrew Campolattano of Bound Brook (NJ) accomplished this season what only one other wrestler had done in the state of New Jersey, he won his 4th NJSIAA State Championship.

It took the entire high school season to get our friends at Intermat and D1CollegeWrestling to agree with us but now, they finally do – at least on the Nation’s top senior. Back in August we picked Penn State recruit Morgan McIntosh as the No. 1 recruit in all of the land – a choice...

Andrew Campolattano (No. 1 @ 215) of Bound Brook was such an accomplished wrestler, New Jersey fans had to wonder what he could possible do to make his senior season special. Of course, there was the quest to become the state’s second four-time NJSIAA tournament champion. But would that crowning, essentially, be an effortless parade...
