High school wrestling: Duchesne, Monticello win 1A regionals

Editor's note: Because of scoring error, Altamont was originally crowned the 1A North champion. The error was correct a day later, and Duchesne is the actual 1A North champion.

Duchesne's bid to knock off two-time 1A state champion Altamont got off to a great start at the 1A Northern Regionals at Rich High School on Saturday as it beat Altamont 226 to 218.

Altamont had six first-place finishers and qualified 17 wrestlers to next week's state tournament at UVU.

First-place finishers for Altamont were Brady Farnsworth (106 pounds), Blake Thompson (138), Rylee Foy (160), Kyle Foy (170), Denver Knight (182) and Cassidy Smith (285).

The Eagles qualified 19 wrestlers for state and had five first-place finishers.

In the Southern Regional at Monticello High School, the host Buckaroos edged Panguitch by 14 points to claim their sixth straight region championship.

Brian Robinson (126), Cole Eldredge (132) and Austin Wilcox (182) won individual titles for Monticello.

Panguitch had a successful regional showing as well with four first-place finishes and 13 state tournament qualifiers.
