Jaxon Cole
 

Jaxon is an exceptional wrestler who developed mental toughness at a very young age. He has the skills and the mat sense that come from being on the mat since the age of 4 but, when push comes to shove, he can grit his teeth and gut out matches. I've coached against him since those first days, and was there to see some of the very few losses he had during his illustrious career. He works hard, putting in the time on the mat to maintain the edge that he developed over his opponents, not just in Utah, but nationwide. His technique is solid and he has a wide variety of options for use when his bread-and-butter might fall short against opponents that he has literally faced dozens of times. He competes in and wins some of the biggest and toughest tournaments in the country. Jaxon took state as a freshman, finishing out his first state tournament by pinning his way to the finals, then seizing the title in a grueling overtime win over Delta star Trevor Poulsen and an outstanding record of 42-2. This came after his first appearance in the All-Star Dual, where he beat American Fork standout Cameron Hunsaker in a very strategic 3-2 decision. His sophomore year, he finished the season at 50-2 and pinned his way to the title, including overcoming Delta's Brady Poulsen in the first round. This came after his second appearance in the All-Star Dual, where he recorded a first-round pin over Uintah's Kemry Smuin. As a junior, he finished out 55-1, marching through the state tournament without a single match making it out of the first round, until the finals when he finished with a third-round technical fall over 2015 state finalist, Caleb Rasmussen of Millard. Prior to winning his third state title, he made an outstanding showing at his third appearance in the All-Star Dual, soundly beating Wasatch state champion, Braiden Parker, 11-4. Jaxon has been at the top of the talent pool in Utah for his entire career (see below), including an outstanding six times to the finals in the biggest folkstyle tournament, the Reno World Championships, and he will continue that level of performance as a senior.

Jaxon will soon join that vert short list of four-timer state champions.

2016 State Champion (120 lbs.). 2015 State Champion (106 lbs.). 2014 State Champion as a Freshman (106 lbs.). 2015–2016 Record: 55-1. 2014–2015 Record: 50-2. 2013–2014 Record: 42-2. Interscholastic Career Record: 147-5
