Greensburg — Greensburg senior Dillen Swango has shown the leadership and performances that head coach Matt Cochran has come to expect from the wrestler in a tough weight class.

Swango finished in third place at the Richmond Regionals Saturday, earning him a trip to New Castle for the semi-state tournament. After advancing to the third-place match, Swango dispatched Richmond's Nate Trawick with a pin. Swango improved his record to 33-12 and will make his second trip to the New Castle Semi-State.

According to Cochran, Swango has compiled his second straight 30-win season and has been one of Greensburg's most consistent wrestlers all season long.

Oldenburg Academy sophomore Taylor Reed, a Greensburg resident, won the Richmond Regional championship in the 113-pound weight class. He advanced with a pair of pins and beat Lawrenceburg's David Hill 8-0 in the title match.
