Hartman, an eighth-grader wrestling in the boys' 2002-03, 145-pound weight class, took fifth in his 16-boy bracket. Swanson, a sixth-grader wrestling in the girls' 2002-04, 172-pound class, placed sixth.
Hartman won his first two matches in the tournament to assure himself a spot in the placement rounds. He lost to Corbin Hauser by 4-0 decision in the semifinals, and 8-2 in the consolation semis to Javon Leisgang, but rebounded in the fifth-place match with a 9-3 decision over Tyr Severson.
