This week, Miller Place junior AJ Perrino reached a major milestone, earning the 100th victory of his high school wrestling career. Achieving 100 wins before the end of a junior season is a testament to Perrino’s consistency, dedication, and high level of performance on the mat, and it places him among the elite wrestlers in the program’s history.
Perrino has been outstanding throughout his early career, establishing himself as one of the top competitors in Suffolk County. His work ethic and discipline have been evident since his freshman season, and his steady improvement has translated into success against some of the region’s toughest competition. Coaches and teammates alike praise his preparation, focus, and competitive mindset.
Last season was a breakout year for Perrino. He earned All-County honors and captured a league championship, accomplishments that highlighted his ability to perform under pressure and excel in high-stakes matches. Those achievements helped cement his reputation as a wrestler to watch, both within the league and across Long Island.
Reaching 100 career wins is not just a reflection of individual talent, but also of the countless hours spent training, studying opponents, and pushing through adversity. Perrino’s milestone is the result of years of commitment, beginning with youth wrestling and continuing through his development at Miller Place. It also reflects the strong support system around him, including his coaches, teammates, and family.
With an entire postseason still ahead of him and another full season remaining after this one, Perrino’s journey is far from complete. He now has the opportunity to build on this achievement and set even higher goals for the remainder of his high school career. As he continues to compete, Perrino remains focused on improvement, team success, and making the most of every match.
The Miller Place wrestling community is proud of AJ Perrino’s accomplishment. His 100th career victory is a significant milestone and a clear indication that even greater achievements are still to come.
