The Lehi wrestling team finished a strong second to preseason favorite Springville in the Region 7 wrestling meet Friday on its home mat.

The Pioneers won two weight-class titles and qualified 15 other grapplers for the state 4A tournament, which began yesterday at UVSC's McKay Events Center and continues through tomorrow night.

Lehi's region champions are Jacob Sasser at 152 and Tucker Nielson at 215.

Finishing second for the Pioneers were Zac Holdaway (103), Steen Christiansen (160), Dylan Stadel (285) and Matt Spencer (119). Spencer is ranked third in the state super rankings but second in 4A behind the Red Devil who bested him at this meet.

In third place were Cam Phillips (130), Riley Sullivan (140) and Russell Gardner (189). In fourth were Brennan Christensen (112), Chad Sloan (145), Ryan Bennion (152), Wayland McGary (171) and Graham Hunter (215).

Those coming in fifth included Brady Page (125), Taylor Savio (171) and Cam Southwick (285). Three others placed fifth but did not advance because there is not a fifth-place berth for Region 7 in their weight classes this year. They are Bryce Phillips (135), Ben Savio (160) and Brian Nelson (189).

After the Red Devils had won seven straight matches in the lower weights, Sasser snapped Springville's streak by beating the Red Devils' Bryan Beardall 13-5 at 152.

In a very close match at 285, Springville's Danny Hickman squeaked out a 4-3 win over sophomore Stadel. Stadel is a guy that Lehi is counting on to make some noise at state.
