High school wrestling: Clearfield finally adds another wrestling title
After 17 years, it's time once again to make room in Clearfield's wrestling trophy case.
In the highly competitive Region 6 tournament Thursday night, Clearfield edged host Highland 348 to 338 to claim its first region title since 1993.
"It feels good. It's been a while for Clearfield High School. It's pretty exciting, not only for us but for our whole school. We by far had the most fans here and we traveled the farthest to come here, so it was really good for our community and our fans and our school to have our kids work so hard and reach their goals," said Clearfield coach Dustin Rock, who was doused with water from a dozen or so water bottles after the trophy presentation.
Clearfield finished with four individual champions and qualified 12 wrestlers to next week's 4A state tournament as it denied Highland a third straight region championship.
Cyprus finished third with 302 points, followed by Bountiful (249.5), Woods Cross (143) and East (44).
