Cheyenne Mountain Junior High School seventh grader Wyatt Boley is one of the top wrestlers in his age group in Colorado and the surrounding states. This week, he will test himself against some of the top grapplers in the rest of the nation.
“Wrestling has taught me that hard work pays off and that I can do well at anything as long as I put my mind to it,” he said.
Boley will join eight other members of his Cheyenne Mountain Wrestling Club who will compete in this weekend’s NHSCA High School National’s in Virginia Beach. He is the only non-high schooler among his teammates at the tournament. His goal is to do well enough to earn future All-American honors.
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.
