PIAA wrestling championships: Butler’s Santino Sloboda ‘let it fly’ to win bronze in emotional finish to career
HERSHEY — The only space that won’t be filled on Santino Sloboda’s mantel will be a state title.
But the Butler senior cemented his status among the best the county has ever seen and the best in Golden Tornado history Saturday at the PIAA Individual Wrestling Championships at Hershey’s Giant Center with his second consecutive state bronze and fourth medal at this stage.
Sloboda avenged his stunning quarterfinal loss Friday, beating Manheim Township’s Frank Leanza 8-1 with a second-period takedown and tilt points despite a knee injury. It nearly reversed the 9-2 score Leanza won by 24 hours earlier.
“I was really happy after that one,” Sloboda said. “That was probably my favorite match of my career just ’cause before the match I really didn’t care what was going on. I just tried to have some fun with it and let it fly out there, and I think I was actually smiling a little bit after that first period.”
“Today I think he really showed a lot of character in battling back after that kid and that loss, coming up short, then an injury,” Butler head coach Scott Stoner said. “Just the road back was a nice thing for him.”
The future Pitt Panther can place the medal alongside last year’s bronze, his fourth as a freshman and his sixth as a sophomore. There’s also his three WPIAL Class 3A championships, three regional championships and four section titles.
Last year’s Butler Eagle Male Athlete of the Year has 176 career wins, the best ever at Butler and in the county after passing Seneca Valley’s Alejandro Herrera-Rondon (175).

From Butler County, only Herrera-Rondon — in 2018, ’19 and ’21 — and another Raider, Rich Barron — 1982 — lay claim to PIAA champion.
Sloboda (176-9) grew up watching Herrera-Rondon train at OMP Wrestling Club.
“He’d be in the room every day, and he was so good,” Sloboda said. “You would watch him wrestle and you’d wanna be like him. So that was one of the guys I looked up to.”
Sloboda almost didn’t take the mat for the final time Saturday.
A left knee injury he suffered in Friday’s match with Altoona’s Deklan Barr got worse overnight, he said. He contemplated a medical default in the morning but eventually decided he “might as well just try.” He didn’t warm up before Saturday’s consy semis, and it sapped the lateral quickness that has made him such a dangerous wrestler.
Sloboda credited his coaches for getting him in the right frame of mind.
He wrestled conservative in the consolation semi, taking advantage of one small mistake by Central Bucks East sophomore Chase Williams late in the first period to secure a takedown and ride out the rest of the way for a 3-0 win.
The Sloboda of old returned in his final match.
Unlike Friday, even before the injury, when he looked tentative and lost against Leanza, Sloboda had happy feet in the rematch and goaded the freshman into leaving his crouched defensive stance a couple times.
Sloboda even broke tendency and attacked double-leg multiple times as he figured out Leanza’s timing. Stoner laughed afterword at it, because he’d never seen Sloboda even attempt it before this weekend (Sloboda hit on his first Friday against Perkiomen Valley’s Max Tancini).
It was a clinical performance, and Sloboda “let it fly,” he said later, showing the fluidity and freedom he’s known to wrestle with one last time.

Sloboda showed uncharacteristic emotion afterward, pumping his arms to the crowd.
“I don’t know (where that came from). I don’t usually celebrate after my matches,” he said. “That one meant a lot. … That one really got me excited.”
It marks the end of an era for Stoner, too.
He’s repeatedly called Sloboda a “once-in-a-generation” athlete to train, so unique and talented it was a challenge to coach him — in a good way. The two spent hours together in the gym and talking wrestling. Sloboda is best friends with Stoner’s son, Sutton, who made his first PIAA championship appearance this year.
“This relationship, it goes beyond this 30-foot circle and 3 feet apart, and that kind of stuff. It’s a tough thing to see any kid leave. … Four-time state place winner, that’s a pretty rare thing to have in this state.”
