Jazenski (177 lb division) registered 2 pins, and decisioned previously undefeated Moore of Shenango in overtime 4-2. These two broke 4 records this year, as they dominated the Behrend wrestling scene. Julio, at one point, held the record with six consecutive wins, only to have it broken by Paul with eight. DiMarco's 11 wins in one season shattered the previous record of eight, while Jazenski's 16-3 lifetime slate is the best ever in Behrend wrestling history. Quite a performance. Out of Paul's 10 wins, six were via the pin and Julio pinned three of his twelve opponents. Coach Onorato had much praise for the dynamic duo. "DiMarco and Jazenski are without a doubt the best wrestlers I have ever coached. Julio never lets up on his opponents and just runs them down. He just doesn't know how to lose. Paul has a tendency to never give up. He has always come back whenever he was in trouble." When wrestling on a team with many losses it is a fantastic feat for DiMarco (11-1) and Jazenski (10-1) to come out of it as winners. The duo will end their season as representatives of Behrend in the Regional Tournament this Friday and Saturday. _
