NJSIAA STATE TOURNAMENT
WB2: Tornick Kajaia (175)

5th: Cristian Cunalata (165)
WB1: Javier Guzman (138) / Nick Miller (150)
PQ: Matt Munson (132) / Devon Smith (157)
After a two year drought with no Region medalists, Long Branch made it back-to-back seasons with a pair of medal winners as sophomore Tornick Kajaia earned his 2nd medal by finishing as the runner-up at 175, and senior Daniel Ramirez placing 3rd at 165.
DISTRICT 21 TOURNAMENT
Long Branch (2nd Place / 7 Medal Winners)
2nd: Javier Guzman (138) / Daniel Ramirez (144) / Nick Miller (150) / Cristian Cunalata (165)
3rd: Matt Munson (132) / Devon Smith (157) / Tornick Kajaia (175)
The Green Wave were held without a District Champion for the first time since 2012, but will be sending at least of their lineup the Regions for the 11th consecutive season with four 2nd-place finishers and three 3rd-place finishers. Among their 3rd-place finishers was sophomore Tornick Kajaia, who defeated Robbinsville's Richard Esterly, in what was likely the weekend's only 3rd-place match between returning State Qualifiers.
