TEAM OVERVIEW:

Uintah is a team that has been one of the top tier programs in Utah for almost as long as wrestling has been a High School Sport.  They won their first title in 1958, and have added a bunch of them since that time, though none in the last 20 years.  Can they get that done this year?  It'll be tough, but tough, fundamental wrestling is what Uintah does.  Can they put together the type of February they need to in order to topple Mountain Crest?

RETURNING POINTS:

Impact Newcomers:

Jaxon McCurdy:  Jaxon is slated at 106, and will look to make an immediate impact.  Jaxon is a Super State Champion, State Champion, Undefeated at the Clash Duals, and the Legacy Duals.  Look for Jaxon to be competitive in the 4A 106 lb class.  

Gage Howard: Gage Howard is brand new to the Uintah team,  he moves in after a successful year in Colorado as a Freshman at the 285 lb weight class.  Howard was a State qualifier for Poudre High School and will look to make a huge contribution for the Utes.
