BEAR RIVER HIGH – By Cari Doutre - February 1, 2021
Teia Gonzales, a senior at Bear River High School and a captain of the girls’ wrestling team, has something new to add to her growing wall of wrestling accomplishments – a first place trophy.
Gonzales took home the title in the 160-pound weight division during Mountain Crest High School’s MC Filly Invitational on Jan. 30.
Joining Gonzalez on the podium include fourth place finishers Carisa Epling (108), Samara Ward (115), Tassie Hatch (120) and Shanna Archuleta (245). In fifth place at the tournament was Cierra MacFarlane (128) and Bretlee Potter (245). Junior Haylee Farnsworth took sixth place (170), Sophie Miller finished in seventh place (136) and freshman Emma Petersen took eighth place (132) individually.
