Juab took its first step toward trying to win an eighth straight 3A wrestling state championship on Saturday night at its 3A Divisional meet.

The Wasps rolled through the competition at the Divisional A state-qualifying meet at Union High School, tallying 327 team points to easily finish ahead of Canyon View, which ended with 237.5 points.

Juab’s streak of seven straight state titles is tied with Delta (2009-2015) and Pleasant Grove (1991-1997) for the fourth-longest streak in state history.

Delta owns both the third-longest state champoinship streak (1974-1981) and second-longest (1985-1993). The state record is held by Brighton, which won 11 straight state championships from 1978-1988.

Juab qualified 25 wrestlers for this year’s state tournament, which will be held at the Sevier Valley Center on Feb. 16-17. It finished with eight individual divisional champs on Saturday.

Divisional A runner-up Canyon View qualified 16 wrestlers to the 3A state tournament.

In the Divisional B meet at Emery High School, South Summit finished first with 312.5 points, with Morgan close behind in second with 280.5 points.

South Summit qualified 20 wrestlers for the state tournament, with Morgan qualifying 22 wrestlers.

A total of seven wrestlers will be looking to defend their state titles at the 3A state meet: Emery’s Monty Christensen, South Summit’s Bryce Pulver, Juab’s Rowdey Peterson, Juab’s Hayden Park, Union’s Tucker Roybal, South Summit’s Ben Smith and Manti’s Dallin Sweat.
