Defending state champion Mountain Ridge built a narrow lead during the opening day of the 6A girls wrestling state tournament at UVU on Wednesday.
The Sentinels advanced seven wrestlers into the semifinals and totaled 95.5 teams on the opening day. Corner Canyon sits in second with 87 points, with Cedar Valley in third with 86.5 points and Westlake in fourth at 85 points.
Corner Canyon has the most semifinalists with eight.
Individually, Payton Gines’ quest for a 4-peat is very much alive after the Syracuse senior easily won her two matches at 115 points by fall. She is 27-3 on the season heading into Thursday’s semifinals at 3:30 p.m.
Three other wrestlers are chasing three 3-peats at this week’s state meet, and they all advanced to the semis as well: Layton’s Brynlee Sorensen, Skyridge’s Madison Sherman and Corner Canyon’s Clarion Fager.
A quartet of sophomores kept their repeat dreams alive as well with two wins on Wednesday: Corner Canyon’s Piper Eller, Copper Hills’ Naomi Kofe, Riverton’s Hannah Larson and Westlake’s Tevia Rarick.
