High school wrestling: Juab’s boys, Canyon View’s girls in driver’s seat for 3A titles after opening day of state tourney
After the opening day of competition Friday at the 3A boys and girls state wrestling tournament in Richfield, Juab’s boys are in a good spot in their pursuit of an eighth-straight state championship, while Canyon View’s girls are closing in on their first-ever wrestling title.
Juab’s boys advanced 14 wrestlers into semifinals as they lead second-place South Summit 125 to 117. South Summit has 10 wrestlers who will compete in the semis, which get under at the Sevier Valley Center at 9:30 a.m. The finals are slated for 3:30 p.m.
Juab’s current 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 championship 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 has two wrestlers who are seeking a state title repeat on Saturday, Rowdey Peterson and Hayden Park, each of who won their first round and quarterfinal matches on Friday.
Five other 3A boys wrestlers are seeking a repeat: Emery’s Monty Christensen, South Summit’s Bryce Pulver, Union’s Tucker Roybal, South Summit’s Ben Smith and Manti’s Dallin Sweat.
For the girls, Grantsville is the two-time 3A state champion, but it’s got some work to do to make it three straight.
Canyon View had a great opening day of competition and leads Grantsville 112 to 95 heading into Saturday’s final day of competition.
Both teams have 12 wrestlers who will be competing in the semifinals, including who each who is chasing an individual 3-peat: Grantsville’s Hailey Broderick (155) and Canyon View’s Tilisa Matakaiongo (190).
Three additional wrestlers are looking to repeat as state champs: Canyon View’s Julia Kay (115), Union’s Evie Davidson (130) and Grantsville’s Nikkole Dong (125).
