This past weekend was a historic one for the East Meadow Jets wrestling program. Matthew Rodriquez wrestled in the New York State Wrestling Championship Tournament after winning the Nassau County Championships last weekend. Matt won his first three matches in commanding fashion and became the first New York State finalist from East Meadow in 34 years. Matt finished second in NYS in his weight class for all Division 1 schools, the first All-State wrestler for East Meadow in seven years as well.
