Those two wins put Delta out in front of Wasatch by 13 points, but Wasatch had its big guns in the next four weights and the Wasps' firepower could not be stopped.
Uintah crowned two champs out of its seven finalists. Colby Christensen (112) and Creedon Merkley (130) picked up titles for the Utes.
Hurricane's Brock Prince (135) and Dylan Clark (215) also won state titles, and each picked up the Outstanding Wrestler Awards in the lower and upper weights, respectively. Clark set the state pin record for a season with 50 to go along with his second state title.
Wasatch's Jake Salazar won his third state title, defeating Delta's Jordan Sorenson 16-7. Salazar finished his season with a 47-1 record, his only loss coming in an out-of-state tournament in Minnesota.
"It feels good," stated Salazar. "I wanted to win state real bad. I wanted the pin, the fall, but I probably pressed too much to get it."
Salazar will hope to avenge that lone loss at the Senior Nationals in March and then will attend Michigan to wrestle for the Wolverines.
