It’s time to rewrite the record books.

After taking his 200th career victory at the Southeast AA regionals tournament, Aaron Seidel put himself at the very top of the Pennsylvania’s all-time career wins list.

Northern Lebanon’s senior has been chasing his goal of four consecutive PIAA titles, but his latest achievement already leaves him in a class of his own.

With his first win of the day at Bethlehem Freedom High School, Seidel became the only PIAA competitor to ever reach 200 wins — and he made sure to enjoy the moment once it came.

“I’m super excited. It’s something that comes along the way with my goals of winning states for a fourth time, so I’m super stoked,” Seidel said. “I think (the nerves) were the same as every match. I try not to get too nervous so it won’t affect my wrestling, but every match I come with the same mindset so it wasn’t really different.”

The Vikings’ senior has been tallying wins all season, and the records have come with his goal of “becoming the best.” Seidel has always enjoyed the relationships he’s made through wrestling, and he credits his support system for helping him through his career so far.

“Family is everything — all the Fredericksburg people and (everyone) from back home came to support me,” Seidel said. “In the practice room at Northern Lebanon, we always break with family so I’m excited that everyone came out to support me, and I’m blessed.”

One thing that Seidel prides himself in is his passion for hitting the mats, and he said that mindset has made it easy to enjoy the ride.

“A lot of people don’t want to go to practice and stuff like that, they just like competing and they don’t like making the weight — but I feel like I just love it,” Seidel said. “I don’t feel comfortable if I’m out of practice, and I like to see my friends so it’s just exciting for me.”

“I’m one of those people that really love the sport of wrestling and fell in love with it, and you’ve got to love it to be any good.”

Now that he holds the career wins record, Seidel’s focus is unchanged. He remains set on becoming the 15th PIAA competitor to win four PIAA titles, as he continues looking to finish the year in “historic” fashion.

“I’ve been very dominant so far. I only have a couple losses and it would’ve been cool to not lose any, but that’s just what my expectations are with trying to be the best I can,” Seidel said.

“I think the only way I can make it one of the best careers in Pennsylvania — is winning my fourth (title), so we’re gonna do that and cap off my (varsity) career.”
