The Streak (Easton High School Wrestling)


The Streak was a period of 68 years over which Easton High School always produced at least one individual district champion in the sport of wrestling. From 1948 to 2015, Easton had 185 individual district wrestling champions, while never failing to have at least one champion, in any year. Competing in Pennsylvania's PIAA District 11, a district that has long been regarded as one of the most competitive districts in the US for the sport of wrestling, Easton High School's Streak was considered to be a testament to the program's consistently excellent performance.
