It was a lucky day for Montclair State when John Monaco decided to transfer from Syracuse University because in three years, he rewrote the wrestling record book. One of the most outstanding wrestlers to come out of Montclair’s prestigious program, Monaco was undefeated in all of his dual meets, was an All-American and won the national championship in Division III in 1985, 1986 and 1987. Due to Monaco and his teammates’ performances at the 1986 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships, the Indians won the team title for the second time in school history. Monaco also competed in the East-West All-Divisions All-Star match in Oklahoma City after qualifying as one of the top-ranked wrestlers in the country.
