Sophomore Ken Collado, the state champion at 103 pounds from Hauppauge, was honored at the Suffolk County Legislator's Meeting on Tuesday, and was given a proclamation from legislators John M. Kennedy of Smithtown and Rick Montano of Brentwood.
Collado (38-4 this season) was the only Suffolk wrestler to take home a state championship this past season. He is Hauppauge's fourth state champion in school history. At the Suffolk County awards dinner, he was the recipient of the Lou Giani Most Outstanding Wrestler award.
