SPMS Wrestler Wins State Title

Years of diligence paid off for Weston Baumgartner on February 10 when he won a state championship in the Maryland State Wrestling Association’s 125-pound middle school competition at The Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro. A Severna Park Middle School eighth-grader, Baumgartner competes for Headhunters Wrestling Club. During the state championship tournament, he won his first two matches by technical fall before winning a 2-1 decision for the state title. In the next few weeks, he will choose which private school he plans to attend next year.
