LAKE RIDGE, Va. -- The auxiliary gym at Woodbridge Senior High School was renamed “Gus” in honor of a former teacher and wrestling coach.
Community members gathered Saturday at the high school in Lake Ridge to rename a utility gym in honor of David “Gus” Swaggard who helped lead the Woodbridge Viking Wrestling Team to their first-ever championship win during the 1973 -74 season. Swaggard also helped the team get its first shutout win, a 49-0 victory.
Mike Copperhite wrestled for Swaggard and helped to organize Saturday’s dedication ceremony.
