WRESTLEUTAH.COM Power Poll

The season is underway and we are updating the Power Polls. These rankings reflect on the information we have available to us so if we don't have access to results or haven't heard how things went then we may be missing a kid or two. Please give us your feedback. Again remember that these are kids and all comments must be appropriate and not offend anyone. 

The Power Poll is a ranking of all wrestlers 1A-5A at each weight. 

106

  1. Jaxon Cole (Sophomore) - North Summit
  2. Kade Evans (Senior) - Davis
  3. Brandon Meikel (Sophomore) - Kearns
  4. Coby Vandertoolen (Junior) - Bingham
  5. ​Kegan Leatherow (Freshman) - Fremont
  6. Brady Poulsen (Sophomore) - Delta
  7. Trevor Cluff (Sophomore) - Wasatch
  8. Colten Eden (Junior) - Syracuse
  9. Gentry Warner (Freshman) - Juab
  10. Jaren Myrup (Sophomore) - Maple Mountain

Jaxon Cole will be down to 106 for the Viewpoint tournament and we will see a great match between Cole and Evans hopefully. Vandertoolen lost a close one to Evans and could go either way in the future. Leatherow had a great first tournament at the Layton Tournament and looks to have a great High School career. 

113

  1. Tanner Benedict (Sophomore) - Layton
  2. Braiden Parker (Junior) - Wasatch
  3. Bryce Brimhall (Senior) - Syracuse
  4. Derek Fisher (Sophomore) - Pleasant Grove
  5. Julio Ortiz - Mt. View
  6. Rasmussen - Millard
  7. Jake Holbrook (Junior) - Box Elder
  8. Bryson Balls - Mt. Crest
  9. Mason Hansen (Sophomore) - Tooele
  10. Kade Zorn (Freshman) - Pleasant Grove

Tanner Benedict had a great win at the Layton Tournament over Parker and that boosts him to the #1 spot at 113lbs. Brimhall will be pushing both Benedict and Parker for that top spot in the near future. 

120

  1. Kyson Levin (Senior) - Pleasant Grove
  2. Cameron Hunsaker (Junior) - American Fork
  3. Trevor Poulsen (Senior) - Delta
  4. Tanner Cox (Junior) - Maple Mountain
  5. Jed Loveless (Sophomore) - Payson
  6. Nickolas Bingham (Senior) - Bear River
  7. Heston Woolsey (Senior) - Weber
  8. Corbin Smith (Sophomore) - Wasatch
  9. Karther Knight (Junior) - Mt. Crest
  10. Wyatt Perry (Senior) - Union

Kyson continues to take the top spot, he had a couple scares but kept his composure and came out with a victory. Hunsaker hasn't been pushed yet and looks dominate so far. Poulsen pulled the upset over Cox and nearly pulled the upset over Levin so he takes a jump to number 3. Woolsey had a great win at the Layton tournament. This is a deep weight and will be fun to watch throughout the year. 

126

  1. Taylor LaMont (Junior) - Maple Mountain
  2. Kedric Coonis (Junior) - Uintah
  3. Josh Jensen (Senior) - Payson
  4. Nelson Jones (Junior) - Pleasant Grove
  5. Jackson Wilson (Senior) - American Fork
  6. Trevor Lowe (Senior) - Mt. Crest
  7. Logan Jensen (Freshman) - Herriman
  8. Matt Lee (Junior) - South Summit
  9. Colton Berger (Senior) - Syracuse
  10. Taten Ringel (Freshman) - North Summit

We have two freshman in the top 10 at 126lbs and they could move up even more with some more wins but they first must get a couple more good wins. Logan had a great run at the Layton and defeated 2x state champion Matt Lee which is why he jumps into the ranking at #6. LaMont is the clear #1 here. We have updated the 126 pound rankings on 12/10/14.

132

  1. Brock Hardy (Freshman) - Box Elder
  2. Ben Anderson (Junior) - Pleasant Grove
  3. Kyle Evans (Junior) - Beaver
  4. Brady Farnsworth (Senior) - Altamont
  5. Payton Stott (Junior) - Millard
  6. Zac Musselman (Freshman) - Monticello
  7. Brandyn VanTassell (Freshman) - Maple Mountain
  8. Jakob Discher (Sophomore) - Wasatch
  9. Jaden Mayers - Mt. Crest
  10. David Kim (Junior) - Viewmont

Brock stays on top after a dominating performance at Layton. Ben will be pushing him and hopefully we see that match soon. Kyle Evans was impressive at the Millard Duals. Again we have two freshman in these rankings which is again impressive. 

138

  1. Jaron Jensen (Junior) - Herriman
  2. Jayden Pentz (Senior) - Morgan
  3. Ryan Hansen (Sophomore) - Maple Mountain
  4. John Manning (Freshman) - Juan Diego

  6. Landon Gates (Senior) - Pleasant Grove
  7. Greg Lamb (Senior) - Corner Canyon
  8. Dallin Denton (Senior) - Fremont
  9. Kyle Smith (Senior) - Box Elder
  10. Lukas Erickson (Senior) - Olympus

​This is probably the deepest weight in the state right now! Manning and Jensen had a barn burner this weekend. Pentz and Hansen were undefeated and looked impressive. This is going to be a great weight to watch and there will be much debate over who is #1 and where do freshman Manning and Moody fit in here. In the next few weeks this weight will continue to play out and we will see who is on top.

  9. Jeff McIlrath (Senior) - Davis
  10. Luke Davis (Senior) - Brighton

Johnny O'hearon is the top of this weight class and looks like he will stay there. There could be a lot of movement in this weight after this weekend's tournaments.

  2. Preston Stephenson (Senior) - Wayne
  3. Victor Almanza (Senior) - Delta

  9. Brennen Gerratt (Senior) - Salem Hills
  10. Chris Wengreen (Senior) - Mt. Crest

​Spencer won the Layton tournament but Stephenson won the Moab Invitational beating Cole Eldredge, Almanza looks tough after he beat Anderson, this weight could shape up to be a tough weight class.

  3. Riley Foy (Senior) - Altamont
  4. McKade Cox (Junior) - Gunnison
