We have taken a look at the front runners in the 5A and 4A divisions so next we will take a look at the returning state champs and frontrunners in the 3A, Bear River. This is our best prediction so weights may be off and if we are missing kids feel free to let us know in the comments below!

Returning State Placers: 10

• Zack Bingham (3rd)
• Holden Richards (1st)
• Cooper Skinner (1st)
• Kaygen Canfield (1st)
• Bracken Stokes (4th)
• Wyatt Johnson (6th)
• Broken Jensen (5th)
• Zachary Howell (6th)
• Jordan Watson (2nd)
• Josh Madsen (1st)

Returning State Qualifiers: 18

Impact Freshman & expected weight

• Maverik Skinner: 126 (2016 Youth Super State 3rd)
• Easton Winward: 132 (2016 Youth Super State 5th)
• James Hornberger: 138 (2016 Youth Super State Champion)
• Rex Westmoreland (10th): 152 (2016 Youth Super State 3rd)
• Wyatt Larsen (10th): 170 (2016 Youth Super State 3rd)
• Weston Tureson (10th): 160 (2016 Youth Super State 5th)

Come January 3rd the 3A All-Star team could be loaded with Bear River wrestlers!  18 returning state qualifiers, 10 returning state placers and 4 returning state champ Bear River will be the 3A favorite heading into the season. Their incoming class is not too shabby either with 6 Youth Super State placers entering the team. They are a senior heavy team but if they can keep having incoming classes come in like this one they will be a force for many years.
