For the past 42 years, Coach Amuso has served Fox Lane High School and the New York State Wrestling Association as a coach and role model for thousands of students. Among the student athletes coached by Joe Amuso are: 35 sectional champion wrestlers; 236 All League wrestlers; 125 All Section wrestlers; 23 All State Wrestlers and One State Champion
Athletic Director Beth Staropoli said “Coach Amuso is a legend in the sport of Wrestling and here at the Bedford Central School District. The impact he has had on the wrestling communities of Fox Lane, Section One and New York State will be felt for many years to come.”
State Runner Up, Fox Lane Senior Sam Speno stated, “Since 8th grade I have been in the wrestling room, he knows how to push me to my limits and to get me to wrestle hard. I don’t think Fox Lane Wrestling or I would have been as successful without him. He has done so much for me in and out of the Wrestling Room.”
In Coach Amuso’s mind, the wins, losses and awards pale in comparison to the impact that the Student Athletes have had on his life and all the lessons that he has learned from them. Coach Amuso has retired as of the 2011-2012 season and he will be greatly missed.
