FORT BRAGG, Calif. – On Saturday, March 26, some of the Terrace Middle School Viking wrestlers wanted one more tournament, so just before hunting eggs, they went hunting medals.

The Vikings entered 10 wrestlers into the Del Fiorentino Open Invitational – four boys and six girls – and won seven total medals, including two golds, four silvers and one bronze.

Ashley Vasquez (194 pounds) went 4-0 with three pins and Mavis Pyorre (100 pounds) was 3-0 with three pins to win their gold medals.

Sterling Wong was 3-1 (wrestling up at heavyweight) with three pins; Alyssa Gray (wrestling up at Girls 194 pounds) went 3-1 with two pins; Carlie Green (125 pounds) went 3-1 with two pins; and Elijah Alvarez (85 pounds) went 2-1, to win their silver medals.

Donald Mingo (wrestling up at 150 pounds) went 1-2 with one pin to win his bronze medal.

Jesse Lewis (wrestling up at 140 pounds) and Delia Shirley with one pin (wrestling up at Girls 194 pounds) each went 1-3 and just missed out on medals, with some exciting close matches. 

Bryanna Johnson (100 pounds) also wrestled some hard-fought matches for the Vikings.

While most will be enjoying a restful spring break, Mavis Pyorre will have one more week of practice and one more tournament left on her schedule, the California Girls Middle School State Wrestling Championships on April 2 in Albany. Then she is off to softball and track.
