Beachwood’s Caleb Greenwood Wins Second Straight State Title

Beachwood senior added another chapter to his remarkable career Sunday, capturing the 2026 OHSAA State Wrestling Championships Division III 157-pound state championship at the Schottenstein Center.

Greenwood secured his second straight state title with a dominant 20-4 technical fall victory over Tuslaw sophomore Logan Haer in the championship match.

Greenwood’s path to the title was anything but easy. He opened the tournament with a technical fall victory over Carey junior Jordan Hertel before pinning Paulding junior Thor Etter in 3:58. Etter placed third at 144 pounds last season.

In the semifinals, Greenwood faced Delta junior Lane Lopez, who placed fifth at 165 pounds a year ago. Greenwood edged Lopez in a tightly contested 4-2 decision to advance to the finals.

The championship performance capped a dominant season for the Beachwood standout, who finished with a 50-3 record. Greenwood also placed eighth at the state tournament in 2024 before winning his first state title last season.
