2009-10 - Kurt Swartz did not compete during the 2009-10
season for Boise State.
2008-09 - Swartz made the most of his limited action during
his sophomore season, winning 11-of-14 matches on the season wrestling
primarily at 165-pounds for Boise State. Swartz was undefeated in the seven
duals he wrestled for the Broncos, despite wrestling at 174 pounds in one dual,
and 184 pounds in another. He started the season 5-0 before losing his first
match to Mack Lewnes of Cornell in a 16-6 decision at the Body Bar Tournament.
Swartz would rebound from that loss, however, and would capture a fourth-place
finish at the tournament. He recorded two falls and one major decision on the
season.
2007-08 - In
his first season wrestling in a Bronco uniform, Swartz put together a perfect
10-0 record in dual competition that included a 2-1 win over Jake Kerr in Boise
State's final dual of the season against No. 1 ranked Iowa. Swartz ended the
season with a 27-9 record, 17-9 in tournament action. He entered the Pac-10
tournament ranked No. 2 in the conference, only behind Patrick Pitsch of
Arizona State. After wrestling past Cal State Fullerton's Teddy Bristol, 9-1
and Oregon State's Keegan Davis, 4-3, Swartz got his chance to face Pitsch
head-to-head. Despite putting up a fight, Swartz would fall 6-4 to Pitsch,
earning him conference runner-up honors. The second-place finish also
gave Swartz his first NCAA national tournament berth of his young career. His
inaugural NCAA tournament would end sooner than desired, with Swartz losing his
first round match 7-4 against Chad Porter of Liberty University. In the
wrestleback bracket Swartz then faced Ethan Headlee of Pittsburgh. Headlee
defeated Swartz 10-3. The early exit couldn't erase the regular season success
that Swartz enjoyed, though. He finished the season third on the team in wins
and first in dual winning percentage (1.000). He also earned a first-place
finish at the Best of the West Tournament, a second-place finish at the Cowboy
Open and a fourth-place finish at the Southern Scuffle.
2006-07 -
While redshirting for the Broncos, Swartz wrestled unattached in two open
tournaments. He went undefeated at the Portland State Open and Oregon
Classic in early January, placing first in both tournaments. His 6-0
record included one pin and one major decision.
Freestyle - (2007) Swartz qualified for the FILA Junior World
Team Camp in May of 2007 and placed third in a challenge tournament at the end
of the camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
High School
- Swartz had an excellent high school career winning two Washington state
championships his junior and senior seasons. He placed third during his
sophomore season of 2004. Swartz won many junior tournaments during his
prep career including the USA freestyle national championship, the Reno
Tournament of Champions, the Tri-State Championships and the Rocky Mountain
Rumble. Twice he earned cadet All-American honors and one junior
All-American award at the Fargo Nationals. His high school coach was
Brian Peterson.
