Daishi Goto returns to lead Cherry Hill East wrestling program
Cherry Hill East alum and pro grappler Daishi Goto returns to his alma mater to lead the wrestling program.
Daishi Goto, a three-time district finalist and NJCAA All-American from Cherry Hill High School East, is returning to lead the wrestling program at his alma mater. Goto, who wrestled alongside future national champion Dymere Rappa, was named the head coach last month, succeeding Collin Wickramaratna, whose team went 13-16 in his single season.
Goto, a 2013 East graduate, will make his coaching debut when the team opens the 2026-27 season on December 12 with a quad-meet at Cinnaminson. Athletic director Mike Beirao believes Goto's fiery competitor spirit, hard work, and dedication to self-improvement will help cultivate the toughness and confidence in his wrestlers.
