A new leader

Upper Perkiomen senior Zack Kemmerer has become Pennsylvania’s leader in career high school wrestling victories.
Kemmerer, last year’s PIAA Class AAA champion at 135 pounds, won four matches last week to raise his career total to 182 victories.
He passed Connellsville’s Ashtin Primus and Mount Pleasant’s Donnie Ament, both of whom ended their scholastic careers last year with 179 victories.
There is a possibility Kemmerer (36-5) could be the first state wrestler to win 200 matches.
His Upper Perkiomen team will have at least two matches in PIAA Class AAA dual meet championships this weekend in Hershey. Upper Perkiomen could wrestle up to five matches this weekend, and Kemmerer could wrestle up to 16 matches in the individual postseason tournaments. Last year’s state team champions, Upper Perkiomen (19-4) and District 10’s Reynolds (16-0), have a chance to repeat their titles.
