The senior won his second consecutive state title with a dominant 20-10 major decision over Pleasant Grove’s Jaxon Moore at 152 pounds. Jensen, last year’s Class 4A champion at 145 pounds, finished the state meet with a pin and two major decisions in four matches.

The 182-pound senior fought back tears after pinning Syracuse’s Jayden Burton to clinch his third state title. “It’s pretty special to end my high school career like that,” he said. “I felt pretty dominant. Only two kids made it to the second period.”
