The Spartans wrestling team took to the mats at the Spartans Center for the first time this season, welcoming in the Delta Rabbits. Delta is always a tough opponent for not only the Spartans but for everyone in 3A wrestling, and they proved that once again on Tuesday night taking a 43-30 win.
Emery has a stacked wrestling schedule this season, in fact this is their second meet already after traveling to Manti last week.
Monty Christiansen got things going with a win by pin in the 106 pound weight class. Christiansen, a junior, will be one to watch this season for the Spartans.
Other Spartans claiming victories against the Rabbits were Merrit Meccariello who claimed a win by forfeit, Hayden Christiansen claimed a win by pin. Bowden Christman, Dane Sitterud and Greg Suwyn also earned victories by pin in the meet.
Up next for the Spartans is a test in endurance as they travel to Millard for the Ironman tournament this weekend where over two days the wrestlers will compete in nine duels.
Listed below is the complete list of matches and outcomes for the meet with Delta.
