Kalamazoo — An area youth wrestler took top honors at a recent state competition.
Mason Adams, a Harvey-Swanson student, finished fifth in the eight year old division at 46 pounds at the 2025 Myway State Championships at Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo March 20-23.
Adams, along with classmate Ayden Gabbard and Camden Dean from Oakwood Elementary School , qualified and participated in the championship.
The trio are members of the Brandon Youth Wrestling group that reformed last year for kindergarten through fifth grade students. About 30 youth participate in the group which practices at Brandon High School and completes statewide each weekend between December and March.
