If the upcoming 6A girls wrestling state tournament is half as competitive as the two Divisional meets on Thursday, it has the makings of being a fantastic competition.

The combined points separating first and second place in Divisional A and Divisional B meets was a meager seven points.

Three-time state champion Westlake recorded 257 points in the Divisional A meet to narrowly finish first ahead of Mountain Ridge’s 251.5 points. The Divisional B meet was even tighter as Copper Hills edged Syracuse 224.5 to 223.

From the Divisional A meet, Westlake and Mountain Ridge each qualified 23 wrestlers to the state tournament, while Copper Hills led the Divisional B meet by qualifying 22 wrestlers for state.

Syracuse qualified 14.

All the state tournament qualifiers will now set their sights on the two-day 6A state tournament at the UVU on Feb. 14 and 15.

During last’s year’s 6A state tournament, Westlake rolled to the team title with a team score of 289, followed by Copper Hills in second with 175.5

There are six returning state champs who will be looking to repeat at state: Davis’ Kristina Kent (100), Syracuse’s Emily Ball (110), Weber’s Aleena Navarrete (120), Copper Hills’ Brooklyn Pace (125), Westlake’s Celeste Detoles (135) and Westlake’s Keilikki Nau Rarick (235)
