High school boys wrestling: Spanish Fork, Box Elder win tight 5A state-qualifying Divisional meets

Both 5A boys wrestling Division meets were tight throughout this weekend, but two-time defending state champ Spanish Fork and Box Elder did enough to put themselves in a great position at the state meet in two weeks.

Spanish Fork won the Division A meet at Maple Mountain High School, tallying 296.5 points to finish just ahead of runner-up Payson’s 282 points.

Box Elder, meanwhile, edged Wasatch 333-311 at the Division B meet at Box Elder High School.

Box Elder qualified the most wrestlers for the 5A state tournament with 21, while Spanish Fork qualified 17.

The 5A state tournament will be held on Feb. 12-13 at UVU.

Six 5A wrestlers will be looking to repeat as state champs at the state meet: Spanish Fork junior Easton Shelley, Wasatch sophomore William Shallenberger, Spanish Fork senior Ryker Olson, Wasatch junior Wyatt Hansen, Spanish Fork senior Hyrum King and Hillcrest senior Moroni Mahe.

Five of the six won their divisional bracket, with King finishing runner-up.
