Layton’s quest for a fourth straight 6A boys wrestling state championship appears to be on cruise control once again.

Layton built a 38-point lead over Syracuse after the opening day of competition at UVU on Wednesday, advancing wrestlers to the semifinals in 11 of 14 weights and 13 total semifinalists.

The Lancers lead with 134 points, followed by Syracuse in second with 96 points and Corner Canyon in third with 94 points.

Layton only led last year’s tournament after the first day by 11.5 points, but they ended up winning by 58.5 points.

A total of nine wrestlers kept their repeat dreams alive by advancing to the semifinals on Wednesday.

Syracuse’s Mason Carlson and Layton’s Austin Paris each need two more victories to finish their high school careers as four-time individual state champions. The semifinals begin at 3:30 p.m.

Layton’s Noah Bull is seeking a third straight individual title.

Six other wrestlers are two wins away from a 6A repeat: Riverton junior Easton Olson, Skyridge sophomore Jacob Millward, Layton senior Lander Bosh, Layton senior Elijah Hawes and Westlake senior Kaizen Detoles.
