Central Valley varsity girls wrestling teammates Brianna Quiroz, Carla Martinez, Angelina Sanchez, Hannah Duncan, Sam Espinoza and Nia Caraway have all advanced to the next postseason round.

“I’m happy for the girls,” coach Rob Beckhart said. “They come to practice every day and work hard. It’s great to see them have some success at the end of the year.”
