For the Class of 2025 athletes, this season wasn’t just about the wins or records set. It was about the early morning practices, team bonding, and being able to wear Lakeland Regional High School’s uniform one last time. Our seniors have made great accomplishments and shown us what it means to be a true Lancer, and the Ledger had the amazing opportunity to hear from some of them before they graduate:

Rebekah Setti

Track and field runner Rebekah Setti has come a long way since starting her freshman year. Both of Setti’s parents were runners and that encouraged her to give it a try. Since then she has accomplished many things such as winning 1st place in the 4×400 relay both her freshman and senior year, On top of this, Setti is leaving her high school running career breaking the school record.

With the help and guidance of Coach Melissa Walker and Coach Daniel Burkert, Setti has had a lot of success on the track. According to Setti, they have been able to guide her through these four memorable years. In an interview with the Lancer Ledger, Setti says, ”They push me to be the best version of myself everyday and I know they will support me throughout anything.”

On her last times around the track, she says, “I knew this was my last chance to give it my all and leave everything I have out there. I practiced and performed to the best of my abilities with the best attitude I could have knowing it would be over fast.”

With all of Setti’s hard work and dedication to running she was given the opportunity to run for The University of Scranton on their track and field team in the fall. This was a big goal she was hoping to achieve after her career.

Some advice Setti has for future runners: “Never give up, everyone has bad days, weeks, and even seasons but don’t let it define you. Come back stronger when people least expect it, and never be scared to ask for help.”

Isabella Andrulli

Senior track and field athlete Isabella Andrulli has completed all four years. Her dedication to the sport since freshman year has led to a successful high school career with many records and awards met.

Originally, however, Andrulli tells the Ledger that she did not want to do track and field. According to her, “My father is the shot put and discus coach here at Lakeland. I wanted to play a spring sport, but wasn’t sure what to do. My father told me to try shot put and discus out, and from the first day I tried it, I knew that this was the sport for me!” It’s funny to imagine that had her dad not encouraged her to try something new, then we wouldn’t have this story now.

As such, when asked who her inspirations were in her success, she says that both Coach Domiano Conforti and her father, Coach Joseph Andrulli, helped her get to where she is. Andurlli says, “They have inspired me because they have both believed in me even when I didn’t. I appreciate them so much, especially since they got me into track and field!”

As for her success, she has broken many major records. She shares, “A major goal that I accomplished is when I broke the indoor shot put record, and the discus record for Lakeland!” In line with her successes, her favorite memory was winning county relays all four years here at Lakeland. She also reflected on getting second place in the group championships for both indoor and outdoor track, which qualified her for the Meet of Champions.

Because of all this success she has gotten college offers, and is currently planning to pursue D2 track and field at Wingate University.

She offered some advice for younger players too, saying, “Have Fun! Sports are about working as hard as you can at practice, during recovery, on your own and, when completing other tasks and hobbies (Ex. doing well in school), but when you get to the metts, games, or other sporting events, it is time to have fun!”

Ryan Langenmayr

Lastly, one of Lakelands most notable wrestlers, Ryan Langenmayr has been a part of the Lancer program for four years and has climbed the ranks. Langenmayr’s wrestling, however, outdates his time as a Lancer; he has wrestled for 13 years in total and has dedicated a lot of time and energy into being the best wrestler he can. He has set new records for Lakeland and shown how much hard work pays off. He has proved himself since freshman year, ending with 137 career wins. His senior year he was able to finish as the record holder for the most wins and a record of 30-5.

In an interview with Langenmayr, after being asked about who inspired him throughout his career, he states, “Joe Cervino. He was always there and would motivate me and get me excited before every match, tournament, or dual.” Mr. Joseph Cervino, physical education teacher, has been coaching Lakeland wrestling for 27 years and has seen a big part of Langenmayr’s journey. Mr. Cervino has put Langenmayr in challenging situations, and with Mr. Cervinos help and coaching he has thrived and grown as a wrestler.

One of Langenmayr’s toughest yet most rewarding challenges has been wrestling at the Beast of the East tournament. The Beast of the East tournament is located at the University of Delaware, and brings people in from all over, including ranked wrestlers. Langenmary believes that this tournament had a lot of great wrestlers and competition and brought along many great wins.

Langenmayr does not plan to end his wrestling career just yet. After graduating high school he plans to spend his next four years wrestling at Bloomsburg University, a D1 team. Out of all of the memories from the past four years of Lakeland wrestling, Langenmayr’s favorite was winning the last match ‘winner takes all’ style against West Milford as a freshman.

Langenmayr has had a great ride with Lakeland wrestling but now it is time for him to move on to his next path in life. Langenmayr’s advice to the younger athletes is to remember that “you can’t run before you walk.”

These seniors have demonstrated how much your dedication, resilience, and passion can help you lead to success. These individuals not only have achieved personal goals but also gone through challenges that become lessons to help them become stronger. Their determination to continue with the sport they are doing now is only the beginning of more memories.
