Mika and Suri Yoffee’s wrestling travels took them to Farmington, Utah, over the weekend, and each brought home a second-place trophy from USA Wrestling’s Salt Lake Slam at the Davis County Legacy Events Center.
Wrestling in the 12U 74-pound class, Mika Yoffee won two of her three bouts to claim her second-place trophy. Representing the Slam Wrestling Club of Las Vegas, she won a 2-1 decision over Maylee Yance of the Cowboy Mat Club of Prineville, Oregon, and recorded a 17-second pin of Kali Waggoner of North Country Wrestling Club in Battle Ground, Washington, sandwiched around her loss, a pin to first-place Aubrey Troutner of Colorado All-Stars in 3 minutes, 33 seconds, easily the longest any of Troutner’s other opponents lasted against her.
Suri Yoffee had fewer competitors among the 10U 50-pound class, and she split her two bouts. She posted a 6-0 decision over Ila Acosta of Inland Northwest Wrestling Training Center in Spokane, Washington, in Round 2 and dropped a 4-0 decision to division champion Emma Robinson of Highland Huskies Wrestling Club in Round 3.
