Cheyenne Mountain claims team wrestling title, 7 locals win individual crowns Cheyenne Mountain secured the 101st state championship in school history, and the first in wrestling, on Saturday. Nico Gagliardi (195lb) and Jake Boley (220lb) won individual state crowns. It’s been a crazy crazy year, Gagliardi said. Our team has gone above and beyond all expectations, I think. Everybody knows how rough the year was. It was cut short. We had to quarantine before regionals. It’s just been an amazing year for our team, and for the individuals that have won championships as well. Mesa Ridge sophomore Matthew Moore needed just 41 seconds to pin Cheyenne s Jesse Boley, to take home the 4A Heavyweight crown. Moore lost his Heavyweight title match as a freshman, but is now the best wrestler in his class.
Cheyenne Mountain High School will be the host site for this weekend’s Class 4A South Region wrestling meet. If all goes according to plan, several Indians grapplers will qualify for the state tournament. Among the many Cheyenne Mountain mat men who have a great chance of advancing to the big show is senior Jake Boley. He is ranked No. 1 in his 220-pound weight class by OnTheMat. “There’s a lot of pressure being thrust upon me, but I’m taking it light-hearted because I know that I can win. And I know that my team is supporting me and getting me better every day at practice,” Boley said before a team workout last week. “The plan is to go out on top, and that’s what’s going to happen.”
