Lepkowsky won the Suffolk County title in the 140-lb weight class and won 46 matches, setting a new record for Hauppauge High School. He also came in runner-up at the state finals. Lepkowsky has 148 career wins, the second highest number of wins recorded by a Hauppauge wrestler. The senior received the Betsy Turk award from Section 11.
Menendez won the Suffolk County and New York State titles in the 171-lb weight class. He is the sixth wrestler to win a state title for Hauppauge High School. Menendez has 106 career wins and was selected by Suffolk County to be the first recipient of the Ken Lesser award.

Hauppauge Brings Home Two All-State Wrestlers
Congratulations
Chanse Menendez, State Champ
Adam Lepkowsky, State Runner-Up
Hauppauge's Two Captain's Bring it Home
 For the third time in three weeks Adam Lepkowsky faced Mike DiMartino. The first time at the head to head league match Lepkowsky won 1-0, then at the league tournament in the finals Lepkowsky won again 5-0, but no victory is as sweat as the county title. With 10 seconds left Lepkowsky on top slipped in a Guillotine and dropped DiMartino for a near fall to score two back points and win the County at 140.
Chanse Menendez ranked second behind Pucka of Huntington in the tournament wrestled straight through to the finals. Pucka losing to Merante in the Semi's faced Menedez, but the two-time All-American was too much to handle. In a close head to head match Menedez dropped Merante with a single to take the title.
Both team captains’ rose to the occasion in one of Hauppauge’s toughest weeks with friend and teammate Nick Mauriello fighting a very dangerous infection. Both captain's along with several teammates visited Mauriello between the semi's and the finals'. Nick was doing great and left the ICU for a regular room. As the boys laughed and rose Nick's spirit's the Captain's said to him, "Nick today we win for you."
Hauppauge Beats Wantagh to Claim Title at Tom Ryan Duals
 It came down to the match between Wantaugh and Hauppauge to decide who would take the Tom Ryan duals. West, Lepkowsky and Mike Ehlinger ran up the points with pins and major decisions, but the highlight came when Nick Mauriello pinned Barabato (3rd place in the states last year) to ice the cake and bring it home for Hauppauge.
Eastern States Classic
Hauppauge Delivers 5 Place Winners
At New Yorks toughest tournament, The easter States Classic, which many claim is harder than the state finals as each weight class has between 64 and 70 wrestlers, Hauppauge placed 5. Lead by captains Adam Lepkowsky (placing 2nd) and Chanse Menendez (placing 6th), followed by Nick Mauriello (placing 3rd), Mark West (placing 5th) and Anthony Martello (placing 8th). The eagles went through some of the top wrestlers in the state to place in this highly ranked tournament scouted by many of the top colleges in the east.

St. Anthony's benefits from forfeits in win

St. Anthony's 39, Hauppauge 26
Two of Long Island's top ranked wrestling teams got it on in a non-league dual meet last night in
Hauppauge
. Visiting St. Anthony's, untested in dual-meet competition and Hauppauge, winners of four of five duals earlier this month, locked horns in an exciting match.
St. Anthony's won five of 12 bouts but came away with a 39-26 win after Hauppauge forfeited three weight classes before a crowd of about 400. Hauppauge had no one to wrestle St. Anthony's former state champion Grant Greene at 125 pounds and state CHSAA champ Jonathan Desir at 285.
Don't tell these wrestlers it's only a non-league meet. The intensity was just as volatile as a league meet. And it heightened when St. Anthony's bumped the well-muscled junior Dariyan Riley up to 189 pounds to meet Hauppauge's highly-regarded senior Chanse Menendez.
"Everyone wants to see the top guys go at it," said Menendez, who placed third in the Suffolk Division I Tournament last year at 171 pounds. "He was tough but I wrestled him very patiently and waited for my shot."
Riley gained a point for a stall call with two seconds left in the third period to tie it at 2 and force overtime. Riley went for the overtime takedown and Menendez countered with a well-executed two-point takedown. As Riley moved in, Menendez body-locked him and put him to his back for a near fall and a 7-2 win with 29 seconds left in overtime.
"I was a little disappointed that he got the point for the stall," Menendez said. "But I had to forget it and make my move in overtime.
Hauppauge came into the meet after a brutal weekend at the Mahopac Duals. The Eagles lost four starters to injury including senior Tyler McGann, who broke his right arm and may be lost for the season.
"We're banged up and St. Anthony's is well coached and a very good team," Hauppauge coach Chris Messina said. "It's a tough combo for us in tonight's dual meet."
St. Anthony's coach Tony Walters also had some injury issues. And he echoed Messina's thoughts, "yes, we have some guys out of the lineup also. But this is a good barometer for us."
It was a disappointment that Hauppauge had no one for Greene at 125 pounds. But Messina decided against sending freshman Connor Kelly against Greene. It would have been Kelly's first action of the season. |
