The Layton Lancers dominated the 6A state tournament a year ago, and after their terrific showing at the 6A Divisional meet on Saturday, there’s no reason to think they can’t repeat.

Layton rolled to the Divisional A title at Syracuse High School, finishing with 355.5 points, well ahead of runner-up Corner Canyon’s 272.5 points.

Layton finished with six individual champions and qualified 24 wrestlers for the state tournament, which will be held Feb. 16-17 at UVU.

Corner Canyon qualified 19 wrestlers to state.

In the Divisional B meet, host Westlake looked right at home on its own mat, tallying 314 points to edge region foe Pleasant Grove, which scored 270 points.

Both teams qualified 20 wrestlers to state.

There will be seven wrestlers looking to defend their 6A state championships at this year’s state meet: American Fork’s Hanks Jacobson, Syracuse’s Mason Carlson, Layton’s Geronimo Rivera, American Fork’s Tege Kelley, Pleasant Grove’s Brad Farrer, Fremont’s Logan Hancey and Pleasant Grove’s Trevyn Gates.
