Stand-out grappler represents Mercer well at states.
We congratulate Lawrence High School senior Mark Savino on his NJSIAA Wrestling Championship this past weekend. His 130-pound title is an incredible personal achievement and a marvelous accomplishment for the LHS wrestling program.
But it is also a landmark for entire county, as he is the first Mercer grappler ever to capture a state title. That covers seven decades and countless great county wrestlers, including his older brother and former LHS wrestling standout Mike Savino.
So, while Mark undoubtedly had droves of family and friends cheering him on from the stands in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, he also had many from around the county rooting for him as well.
And Mark came through for each and every one of them.
