Sole State Spartan wrestler grapples through two showings

Bainbridge High Schooler Garrett Swanson, the only member of the school’s varsity wrestling squad to advance to the recent Mat Classic XXXII State tournament in Tacoma, enjoyed two showings on the mat.

Swanson (106-pounds) first faced off against Shadle Park’s Ashton Dunn and was bested 6-0.

In his next and final match, Swanson was defeated 3-2 by Kelso’s Giovannie Lopez.

The BHS junior entered the Tacoma tourney with a record of 10-8 (seven pins) this year.
