Day 1 headlines
Months after severe bus crash, Central-Grand Junction wrestlers compete at Colorado state tournament How Bennett wrestling, once one of Colorado’s worst programs, became a perennial 3A contenderUpdates
12:17 p.m.: With the lower-classification first- and second-round consolation matches concluded from this morning, and the upper-classification consolation matches this afternoon, it’s important to remember the gravity of these matches in the team title chases. Getting points in the “blood rounds” by finishing third through sixth is critical to a team’s chances at winning a title, unless you’re running away with the crown like the Pomona boys are. These wrestlers in the consolation side of the bracket aren’t competing for an individual state title anymore, but a few more wins can help their teams in a major way come Saturday. — Kyle Newman
9 a.m: Here are the team standings after Day 1 of the larger classifications: In Class 5A, powerhouse Pomona (seeking its eighth straight title) already has a commanding lead, as the Panthers advanced 11 of their 14 wrestlers to the semifinals. In Class 4A, Air Academy (62 points) and Pueblo East (61) sit atop the leaderboard, with Roosevelt (49.5) lurking. In Class 5A girls, Grand Junction Central (60.5) is first, Pomona (52) is second and Chatfield (41) is third, with the Warriors in control of their own destiny with seven wrestlers in the semifinals. Heading into Friday’s semifinals in the lower classes, Cedaredge (55 points) leads Class 2A, with North Fork (50), Burlington (45.5) and Rocky Ford (44.5) close behind. In Class 3A, Eaton’s built up a huge lead with 83.5 points, with the closest behind the Reds being Fort Lupton at 42.5. In girls Class 4A, Pueblo Central (57.5) is in first with Las Animas (45.5) in second. — Kyle Newman
9 a.m.: With 1,344 wrestlers competing at Ball Arena across six different classifications (four for boys and two for girls), 16 individuals who have wrestled at least 20 matches are going for a perfect season.
