Port Washington’s Garett Kawczynski triumphed at the 2025 Highlander Invitational hosted by Homestead High School on Friday, January 24th, securing the 215lb title with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Tyson Martin of Aquinas.

Despite being down 1-0 heading into the third period, Garett showed incredible composure and determination. He managed to escape from Martin’s hold and followed it up with a crucial takedown late in the match, turning the tide in his favor. This win was especially sweet for Garett, as it came after a tough loss to Martin in the finals of The Duffy earlier in the season.

Congratulations to Garett on his hard-fought victory and for showing true grit in securing the Highlander Invite championship!
