Notebook: Transformation leads to success for Central Crossing Comets wrestler Abel Garantche
ThisWeek group
By his own admission, Abel Garantche was “pretty chubby” when he first stepped on the mat for the Central Crossing wrestling program.
Weighing in at 260-plus pounds, Garantche referred to himself as a “super heavyweight.” He wasn’t comfortable in his own skin and decided a change was necessary. Garantche dropped weight to wrestle at 220 and has found success on and off the mat.
Garantche was 21-4 overall before a quad Feb. 6 at Jonathan Alder. Last season, he was a Division I district qualifier, going 2-2 at 220 to finish 29-17.
