Who are N.J.’s over 40 undefeated wrestlers through Jan. 13?

The 2025-2026 wrestling season is over a month old, and there are still over 40 New Jersey wrestlers chasing perfection.

Of course, there’s nearly two months to go including district, region and state tournaments.

NJ.com compiled the list of all of the state’s undefeated wrestlers based on results reported to trackwrestling.com.

To qualify for the list, wrestlers must have competed in at least eight matches. Records are updated through matches of Jan. 13.

There are state champions on the list but also relative unknowns from all areas on the state-wide scene who are starting to make a name for themselves by going on an undefeated run through the early part of the season.

Big men have managed to stay undefeated longer than the lightweights this year. There are six wrestlers at both 215 and 285 who are still maintaining perfect records, the most at any weight.

In comparison, there isn’t a single 126-pounder who is still undefeated.

This is the first list of the season, but the first of many as we will update the list on a weekly basis. We all add any wrestlers who hit the eight-match threshold and delete any athlete who takes a list.

New lists will appear every Wednesday throughout the season. How many will be left when we reach Atlantic City?

If there is a wrestler that should be on the list that isn’t included, send an e-mail to bevans@njadvancemedia.com.

New Scottsdale Arts exhibition showcases art by Ahchipaptunhe and Jacob A. Meders

Photo of Scottsdale“Crazy Horse, John Clymer Revisited” by Jacob A. Meders and “Day the Blue Jay Dreamed of Being a Raccoon” by Ahchipaptunhe are among the artworks featured in ”Modern Messages: Ahchipaptunhe and Jacob A. Meders,” which opens January 9 at the Civic Center Public Gallery inside Scottsdale Civic Center Library. (Submitted Photo/DigitalFreePress)

By Sydney Ritter | Scottsdale Arts

Scottsdale Public Art’s newest exhibition, “Modern Messages: Ahchipaptunhe and Jacob A. Meders,” running January 9 through March 31, 2026, at Scottsdale Civic Center Library, tells the stories of Native people with contemporary artwork that invites conversation and rejects tropes.

Ahchipaptunhe practices art as a way to seek understanding of the mysteries of self and as a tool to tell the stories of his Delaware Indian Tribe, also known as the Lenape, before those stories are lost to time.

Ahchipaptunhe’s paintings are purposeful, spare and somewhat mysterious; they are meant to start a conversation, where the stories become clear. It is important to Ahchipaptunhe that the stories of the Lenape are told in modern times.

“I think of my forms like those initially drawn on the beaches of Manhattan, during those first exchanges between my Lenape ancestors and European explorers,” Ahchipaptunhe said. “Language, culture, histories and traditions were shared through form and line. My work imitates those encounters as I use line, plane and form to reintroduce these same discussions to audiences today.”

Ahchipaptunhe explains that what are often considered modern forms can be found on traditional Lenape wampum belts, pottery and basketry. This contradiction between contemporary and traditional forms expresses that they are impartial to the past, present and future, serving as a bridge between people and across time.

Ahchipaptunhe’s journey to becoming an artist and embracing his Lenape heritage spans across time…
