Two of Tucson’s leading high school athletes made their college choices last week: Sunnyside wrestler Roman Bravo-Young, 83-0 with two state titles in two seasons, chose Penn State over a list of college wrestling’s top powers. CDO discus thrower Turner Washington told Arizona coach Fred Harvey he will be a Wildcat. Washington visited Alabama, which is coached by former Arizona All-America discus/shot put thrower Doug Reynolds. Reynolds was a contemporary of Turner’s father, Anthony Washington, especially while they were attempting to make the USA Olympic teams of 1996 and 2000.
