Suspect 2 Wrestled in Metrowest-Area Tournament

As the manhunt continues for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the so-called Suspect No. 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings, a former Milford High wrestler is getting press for having defeated Tsarnaev in at least two wrestling matches.

Specifically, a tournament held in Framingham in December 2010 is being referenced. The tournament drew wrestlers from across the region, including several from Weston High School.

"This is the legend that took down the terrorist TWICE in the wrestling ring," reads a tweet with Milford High graduate Andy Gleeson's photo.

Brackets on MassWrestling.com show that Gleeson faced and defeated Tsarnaev in a December 2010 tournament held in Framingham. 

Both were in the 135 weight class. Also in the same weight class were wrestlers from Weston, Holliston, Framingham and Marlborough: though only Gleeson was shown as having faced Tsarnaev.

Tsarnaev wrestled for Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, where he was named Student Athlete of the Month in February 2011.

Gleeson graduated from Milford High in 2011; he wrestled Tsarnaev in his senior year, when he was a captain of the team.
