2021 Marlboro Wrestling
Marlboro is coming off of back to back winning season, including a program record 19 win season in 2020. With just a handful of seniors, this is a little bit of a younger team, but they do have experience pretty much spread throughout the lineup.
The big name returning for the Mustangs is in the middle of the lineup in senior Zach Vasile. A 4-year starter, Vasile is a 2-time District Finalist, and advanced to Atlantic City last season after finishing 2nd at Regions. Also back in the middle for Marlboro is another 4-year starter in Andrew DiLiberto, who is coming off a 22-win season.
The upperweights features a trio of returning starters. Juniors Mike Malucelli and Christian Steensen enter their 3rd year as starters for Marlboro. Malucelli was one of the most improved wrestlers in the Shore last season, going from 4 wins in 2019, to a 30 wins last year, and a 2nd place finish at Districts. Steensen won 20 bouts last year, and also took 2nd in the District. Also back for Marlboro up top is sophomore Trevor Perlow, coming off a promising 15 win freshman year.
Marlboro also has some good experience down low to break some new faces around in the junior trio of Brandon Bayer, a 24-match winner last year, Mike Bruno, and Alex Palagano.
Marlboro will be looking to make it three winning seasons in a row. The A-North schedule will be tough, but there's a strong group returning, and if the newcomers come along quickly, there's no reason Marlboro can't continue their winning ways.
