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.",
