Collegian: Ortega perseveres through heart problem

By Brendan Monahan

Collegian Staff Writer

Justin Ortega’s stepfather, Harry Griswold, walked outside of Rec Hall during November’s Intrasquad Dual to seek a place to collect his thoughts.

He needed to absorb what just happened.

Griswold’s stepson defeated David Erwin, who is now No. 12 at the 184-pound weight class, for the starting wrestling spot at 174 pounds.

Griswold thought Ortega would eventually be a starter but not this quickly. Not as a redshirt freshman.

“Last year and this year,” Griswold said, “he’s excelled so much.”
