COLUMBUS — Jefferson senior Colin McConnahea came a long way.

From a sub-.500 freshman season for then-coach Jeff Rex in 2009-10 to a seventh-place finish — beating Heath’s Gunner Loughman 6-0 Saturday after besting the same senior 7-1 in the championship preliminaries Thursday — at the 2012-13 OHSAA State Wrestling Championships held on the floor of Value City Arena inside the Jerome Schottenstein Center, the 76th installment of the event, McConnahea ended his high school mat career on the podium.
