Several members of the George Mason wrestling team continued their impressive post-season runs with strong performances this past weekend at the Region B wrestling tournament. Mason’s trio of David Ray (140 lbs.), Barratt Kennett (171 lbs.) and Steve Parks (189 lbs.) led the way with regional championships and were joined by Jake Schwind (third at 152 lbs.) as all four qualified for the Group A state wrestling tournament. Ray and Kennett added Region B championships to go along with their Bull Run District gold medals, and Parks avenged his loss in the District finals by beating Strasburg’s Carlos Ortiz for his Region B crown. Schwind ended the day in third place, losing only to eventual champion AJ Franklin of Stonewall Jackson. Along the way, Schwind pinned all three of his opponents.
