Wrestling’s 7th Consecutive State Title
State Wrestling
Feb 15-16
State wrestling is well on its way with Juab warming up and getting ready to take state for the 7th consecutive time. The wrestles are held in Richfield in the Sevier Valley Center. On the first day we have the main preliminaries, basically just a huge wave of matches for each weight bracket to decide the finalists for the next day.
On the second day is where it gets heated. This is when all the final matches are held and where you can find some of the longest and endearing matches of the year. They do start a while later in the day so at the earlier times they finish with some of the extra matches.
We had 28 people qualify from state this year with a good range of different weights included:
106- Braxten Blackett, Drake Johnson
113- Hayden Adams, Cole Greenhalgh
120- Teegan Anderson, Rowdy Peterson
126- Porter Anderson, Briley Dudley
132- Cooper Blackett, Garrett Perry
138- Gabe Perry, Hayden Park
144- Dax Johnson, Ben Holthaus
150- Chase Ingram, Gavin Reynolds
157- Dakota Lynn, Preston Aagard
165- Taylor Newton, Breyer Wright
175- Connor White, Will Harmon
190- Logan Holdaway, Brock Messersmith
215- Aiden Seely, Porter Wolforth
285- Aisea Hosea, Ty Blackburn
By the end of the first day we had 17 wrestlers make it to the semifinals
We also made a team score of 135.5
