Panguitch and Monticello captured their respective 1A divisional titles on Friday heading into the 1A state tournament in Richfield in two weeks.
Panguitch won the Division A qualifier in dominant fashion as it racked up a staggering 413.5 team points and qualified 26 wrestlers to the state meet.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the team this year. These guys battle in the wrestling room everyday and it has translated to success in competition. They have an excellent work ethic and a great love for the sport of wrestling,” said Panguitch coach Colin Marshall.
Panguitch has won the past two 1A state championships and it will be the big favorite to three-peat at the Sevier Valley Center in two weeks.
At the Division B qualifier, Monticello edged Milford for the team title as it qualified 13 wrestlers for the state meet. Milford was runner-up as it qualified nine wrestlers to state.
“Nobody gave us much of a chance to win the division. I told the kids that if they wrestled like they can we could win it. We had some great individual performances that turned into a great team win. I couldn’t be happier or prouder of this group of fine young men. Great day to be a Buckaroo,” said Monticello coach Kent Adair.
