Edmonds-Woodway High School

The Edmonds-Woodway junior recorded three straight pins en route to a successful defense of his heavyweight title at the Edmonds Invitational wrestling tournament Jan. 7 at Edmonds-Woodway High School. Johanson, who finished second at the Wesco championships last year, pinned Oak Harbor’s Raymond Quinday at the 4-minute, 35-second mark of the finals. In his earlier matches, Johanson pinned Meadowdale’s Aaron Yared at 3:36 in the opening round and then he beat Oak Harbor’s Jackson Constant in 1:14. “My conditioning was up and my technique got a lot better,” Johanson said of Saturday’s victories.
