Dzhokhar Tsarnaev defeated Minnechaug's Cam Servantez before losing to West Springfield's Shawn Le.
Former Minnechaug wrestler Cam Servantez (right, in 2012) once faced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the 2011 state tournament.
Two Western Massachusetts wrestlers once shared a mat with Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was apprehended Friday night following a standoff in Watertown.
One of the facts about Tsarnaev, 19, that came out following the revelation of his identity was his career as a wrestler at Cambridge Rindge & Latin High School. As a participant in the 135-pound class, he took third place at the 2011 Division I Central Massachusetts sectional meet.
A week later, Tsarnaev dropped his opening-round match in the Division I state tournament. He fell to the loser's bracket, where his first opponent was Cam Servantez of Minnechaug Regional in Wilbraham.
Tsarnaev defeated Servantez by a 10-0 major decision, advancing him to take on West Springfield's Shawn Le. Tsarnaev was eliminated from the tournament when Le pinned him 1:49 into the first period.
