Ethan Lizak accomplished a great amount of success in wrestling, before he became an upperclassman. As a sophomore last year, Lizak won the individual district title at the 106 weight class, a year after coming runner-up as a freshman at 103.

Lizak would finish off his magical run last season with a state championship by defeating Michael Kemerer from Franklin Regional High School out of District 7 by a 4-2 decision.

Lizak joins three other teammates reaching the 100 win plateau during the 2012-13 season, and he is the youngest of three. It is quite an accomplishment to reach this milestone in only three years.

"It means a lot," the soft-spoken junior said. "I've been working really hard. It's one of my accomplishments from my high school career, and it just feels good to finally get it."

Seniors Michael Marano, Shaun Heist and Ian Evans were the others to have their names hang on the banner. Lizak won his 100th the same night as Evans, on January 26 at Whitehall.

Lizak has been wrestling since the first grade in the Parkland elementary school program, and he has come a long way since.

His quiet leadership showed on the mat has helped the Trojans to a successful seasons in recent years. As a team, Parkland has finished in second place in districts three out of the last four years to Easton. The Trojans have recently finished a solid showing at the PIAA Tournament, falling to eventual state runner-up Central Dauphin 32-27 in the quarterfinals.

His most memorable moment so far came early on, while he was a freshman.

"The week before Regionals, I lost to Brett Marino who was one of the toughest kids to wrestle in the state," Lizak said. "But that next week I beat him. It was a great accomplishment."

Lizak again looks unbeatable. Besides a loss at Easton and one to an opponent from Smyrna High School in Delaware, he has beaten every wrestler that has stood across from him.

"Each match I just try to treat each opponent the same," said Lizak. "I don't try to undermine them, just take each one the same way."
