Burke was selected to wrestle at 285 pounds and will represent the 1A and 2A classifications in the annual event at the UCCU Center at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Heading into the new year, Burke is 16-0 on the season and is among 118 high school wrestlers who will participate in the All-Star event.
