January 22, 1983 — A string of six straight wins — including four pins under a minute— lifts Jim Thorpe to a 45-12 Schuylkill League wrestling victory over Shenandoah Valley. Tim Zaengle starts the run with a 21-second fall at 119 pounds, while Brian Leslie follows with a 44-second pin at 126. Jack Steidle adds a 15-second fall at 138, and Joe Williams needs just 50 seconds to gain his mat slap at 145. Lance Malatak closes the match at heavyweight fittingly with a pin. The Olympians also receive a decision win from Paul McDade at 132.
