American Fork finished 3rd last year, one of their highest finishes ever! They lost Cameron Hunsaker but still have loads of young talent coming back. They return the 5th most points from state with 67 which may or may not be enough to keep them in the top 5. A big part of their season will hinge on which new wrestlers step up to the plate and develop the most and if kids like Miner, Holman, Bartholomew, Wilson, Sandstrom, and Filoso can develop enough to get on the podium. If even a few of those wrestlers can get on the podium then the Caveman should be in good shape.
