Mountain Crest won four straight girls wrestling state titles from 2021 to 2024, but that streak came to an end last year with Bear River dethroning the champs.
The Mustangs are in a good position to try and reclaim that throne after a strong opening day of the 4A girls wrestling state tournament at UVU on Friday.
Mountain Crest tallied 94.5 points, and is the Day 1 leader ahead Ridgeline (83.5 points) and Uintah (80 points). Bear River sits in fourth with 74 points.
Mountain Crest advanced eight wrestlers into Saturday’s semifinals. Ridgeline advanced six to the semis.
A pair of 4A wrestlers will be chasing a 3-peat on Saturday after marching through the first two rounds unscathed: Snow Canyon’s Nia Hagler and Uintah’s Sadie Rhoades.
Uintah’s Leena Sharp and Ridgeline’s Kemrie Grange are two other wrestlers hoping to repeat as state champs.
