I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | December 28, 2023 1:00 AM
MERIDIAN — Boundary County Middle School sixth grader Dalton Regehr (80) took third at the middle school state championship.
Dalton went 6-1 at the state championship, winning three of his matches via pin (Drexdyn Coleman, Meridian, 0:35; Kash Barendregt, Kimberly, 0:34; and Liam Takashige, New Plymouth, 0:26). After falling in the quarterfinals, Dalton went on to win four matches in the consolation bracket and defeated Gage Green of Madison Middle School by a 9-3 decision, earning third place out of 33 wrestlers in his weight class.
Regehr competed for Sandpoint Middle School since no other Bonners Ferry wrestler competed and earned 26 points for Bullpups to finish fourth out of 67 teams. He practices with the Sandpoint Legacy Team every other day when not practicing with Bonners Ferry Wrestling Club.
On Dec. 9, Dalton also competed at the Clearwater Rumble for Club and took on 12U 82 and Middle School 77-83 brackets. He came away first in both brackets and won the outstanding wrestlers award.
Dalton is used to competition. In 2021, he was the 10U 67, freestyle and Greco-Roman state champion, while also earning the folkstyle championship earlier that year.
Following his success in 2022, he took second Idaho Greco-Roman and Freestyle State Championships.
