Orem • There weren’t a lot of short matches during the championship round of the Class 5A state wrestling meet Thursday at Utah Valley University.
Maple Mountain senior Brandyn Van Tassell’s wasn’t one of those. He made short work of Viewmont’s Tyson Zesinger, pinning him in less than two minutes.
“My mindset going in there was to dominate and have fun,” he said after posting his 57th win of the season. “There’s not much else to do or want to do.”
And to finish off his high school career with his second consecutive state title is very satisfying for Van Tassell, who hasn’t decided where he will wrestle at the next level.
