Several local wrestlers found their way to the podium this weekend at the Mat Classic state championships in Tacoma.

Renton’s Volodymyr Kalinin, who won his weight class last week in regionals, finished the highest, earning a second-place finish in the 2A 160-pound weight class. Kalinin’s finals match was very close with him coming up just short 5-4.

Lindbergh’s James Garcia finished fourth in the 2A 285-pound class.

In the 3A meet, Hazen’s Nik Vargas placed eighth in the 132-pound weight class.

Hazen female wrestler Raven Svensen finished in fifth place in the girls 155-pound weight class. It is the best finish ever of any female wrestler in the Renton School District, improving on Sevensen’s own seventh-[place finish from last year.

This story has been corrected. James Garcia finished fourth in his weight class, not fifth as previously reported. we apologize for the error.
