GARRETT â Garrettâs wrestling program has been one of the most formidable in the Northeast Corner Conference, and has left its stamp on the conference the past two years.
This yearâs edition finished 18-3 in dual meets, repeating as NECC regular season and meet champions, as well as back-to-back sectional and regional champions.
The Railroaders sent a school-record nine wrestlers to this yearâs semi-state meet at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum, with freshman Chase Leech and sophomore Hayden Brady qualifying for the state finals. It was Bradyâs second trip to the state meet.
This year, the wrestling program added a new achievement, capturing the Class 2A Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association Team State championship, defeating Western, Jimtown and Bellmont to win the team title.
