Quaker Valley wrestler Bruce Anderchak joined an exclusive club Jan. 15 against Carlynton when he earned the 100th win of his career.
It took the 114-pound Anderchak just 15 seconds to pin his opponent and go 29-2 with 15 falls for the season and 100-23 with 40 falls for his career.
“Getting 100 wins in just my junior season is an accomplishment I’ve been looking forward to all year,” Anderchak, now a senior, said afterwards. “I’m thankful that I’ve been healthy enough all through my high school career to wrestle every match and tournament to allow me to get to 100 this early.
“It is a cool accomplishment, but I’m looking forward to bigger and better things the rest of my wrestling career.”
QV coach Austin Heinl was impressed.
“Bruce has wrestled for more than two-thirds of his life,” Heinl said. “This might be the fastest anyone in QV history has achieved this milestone.”
Anderchak joined eight other century club grapplers at QV: Jack Kazalas (2024), 151-28; Patrick Cutchember (2022), 141-31; John Rocco Kazalas (2019), 134-33; Connor Redinger (2021), 112-20; Logan Richey (2023), 112-50; Jack Diemert (2025), 110-58; Justin Richey (2022), 107-41; and Marcus Richey (2025), 100-44.
If you’re counting, that’s three members the 2024-25 squad who achieved their 100th career win last season.
“It’s great company because everyone in the program with 100-plus wins has had great success in their career,” Anderchak said. “It’s fun being able to be added to the banner in the (wrestling) room.”
Anderchak ended last year 48-7 overall to extend his career record to 119-28, placing him fourth all-time at QV. He finished 40-8 as a sophomore and 31-13 as a freshman.
Anderchak has been a regional medalist, section champion and WPIAL runner-up twice in his career. He’s also finished second in the section and fourth in the district.
The talented QV wrestler racked up 22 falls and eight technical falls a year ago to boost his career totals to 47 and 15. He started out 8-1 and 11-2 last season and twice won seven of eight matches later in the year.
Two other top returning starters for the Quakers are senior Matt Danna and sophomore Brennan Breisinger.
Competing at 139 or 145 pounds, Danna posted a 51-10 record last winter after attaining a 38-11 mark in 2023-24. He is in his third year of competition at QV and needs 11 wins to reach 100.
Danna has captured two section titles, placed third and sixth in the WPIAL and was a regional medalist in 2024-25. He has 40 falls and 22 technical falls among his 89 career wins.
He kicked off last year at 9-0 and won 20 consecutive matches (nine pins, nine technical falls, one major decision, one forfeit) after his first loss to go to 29-1. Danna also achieved 12 wins in 13 bouts later in the season.
Breisinger burst onto the QV scene last year. He wrestled in the 215-pound weight class and wrapped up the season 37-15 overall with 17 falls and 10 technical falls.
Breisinger was victorious in his first five varsity matches (4 falls, 1 technical fall) and also rattled off winning streaks of five, six and eight matches.
Sophomore Tommy Minnock won 23 bouts at 160 last year while junior Harper Sipes (133) and senior Eoin Parnell (121) were victorious 22 times.
