2011 Class of 1999 4X Sectional Place winner, Sectional Champion in 1998. Competed in 3 Varsity level sports at Syracuse University and received SU's "Outstanding Athlete" award in 2003. Karl earned his PHD (in mathematics?) from SU. As Karl's coach I would like to note that he was one of the most consistent athletes that I had the pleasure to work with. He was a guy that never beat himself by making mistakes; he frequently outworked his opponents during the course of matches by setting a hard pace. Karl's conditioning was one of his great strengths. His cross country and track and field background, combined with the work he put in at wrestling practice, made him a wrestler who never ran out of gas. Karl's academic and athletic accomplishments during college are some of the most impressive ever produced by a Wayne Central graduate. Karl has continued to be an individual that represents our his family, the school, and the wrestling program as he has established himself within his profession. (by Scott Freischlag) |
2011 Class of 2003 3 Time Class B Sectional Champion; 2X Section 5 Champion, 2X NYS runner-up. Mike's record his last two years of high school was an outstanding 96 - 3. I had the privilege of watching Mike throughout his outstanding high school and college career and can attest to his commitment, toughness, athleticism, intelligence, and all around "class" as an athlete and person. As an 8th grader, Mike struggled against more mature wrestlers, gaining experience that would suit him well as he dominated Section 5 and New York state over the latter part of his career. Mike's wrestling style was as tough and physically dominant as it was possible to be while, at the same time, he was one of the most personable young men that I coached. Mike, an outstanding student, earned his degree from SUNY Binghamton and is enjoying a successful career in private industry. Mike's college career was, to me, a demonstration of not just his ability to compete at the Division I level, but a demonstration of his commitment to his family. Despite battling thru several serious injuries that would have caused a lesser individual to call it a career, Mike stepped on the mat against the top guys in the nation, serving as a leader of his team and competing with his brothers one last time.

To remedy this situation, practice had to be held in the Walworth School. Coach Gentile had his wrestlers run alongside his car, which had the mats strapped onto it, for 6 miles through all of the weather! The JV program was formed during the 1950-1951 season, and the following season they entered the varsity level. Coach Gentile saw success come early with many individual section winners. One year, six out of 10 wrestlers won the sectionals!! Finally, Al Gentile decided to turn to officiating and turned the program over to Mr. Ron Miller. Other achievements of Al Gentile include coaching numerous champions including Olympic wrestler Carmen Molino. In 1975-1982, Al Gentile was selected to work five State Wrestling Champion Tournaments.
