The future of Rutgers Wrestling continues to look bright after the 2022 NJSIAA State Championships that took place this past weekend at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
The Scarlet Knights had three recruits in action, all seniors, with High Point’s Brian Soldano (190lbs) and Boonton’s Joe Fongaro (144lbs) bringing home gold medals, while Passaic Valley’s PJ Casale (215lbs) grabbed a silver.
Senior Brian Soldano of High Point joined an elite group in New Jersey wrestling history when he took out Joshua Palacio of North Bergan by a 11-3 major decision at 190lbs to become the 33rd three-time NJ State Champion.
