The wrestling team at Jonas E. Salk Middle School in the Levittown Public School District capped off a decade undefeated after their recent win against Berner Middle School.

Salk’s wrestling team began their undefeated streak in 2014, when the team’s current wrestlers were only 3 or 4 years old. This year’s team was comprised of 80 seventh and eighth grade student athletes, including four female wrestlers, which is the most that have ever been on the team.

“This team was special,” coach Brian Luball said. “It was the hardest working team that I can recall, and we always have hard working teams.”

“The lessons we teach about life are more important than teaching wrestling moves,” coach Kurt Lassen said.

“It has been nice to see how these kids develop over the years. It carries onto high school and, more importantly, their life after wrestling,” coach Gian Villante added.
