El Paso’s Very Own, Sarah Coria, Won ‘The Price Is Right’

El Paso has a brand-new reason to cheer, and this one comes straight out of daytime television history. Our very own KVIA 7 StormTrack Weather extraordinaire, Sarah Coria, didn’t just appear on The Price Is Right. She showed up, showed out, and walked away a winner, scoring an unforgettable trip to Australia in the process.

Yes, that Sarah Coria. The meteorologist we trust to track desert storms, monsoon season, and unpredictable West Texas weather just proved she’s got serious game show instincts, too.

KVIA 7’s Sarah Coria Takes the Stage on The Price Is Right

For generations, The Price Is Right has been the gold standard of daytime game shows. The moment a contestant hears their name called from the audience, it becomes instant television history. Sarah Coria lived that moment, stepping onto the iconic stage and competing in front of a national audience.

Seeing a familiar El Paso face under those bright studio lights made the moment even more special. This wasn’t just any contestant. This was our StormTrack meteorologist, representing the Borderland on one of the most recognizable stages in television.

From Storm Tracker to a Trip Down Under

Sarah didn’t just play. She won big, including a trip to Australia, which is equal parts exciting and mildly terrifying in the way only Australia can be.

Yes, it’s known for stunning landscapes and incredible scenery, and it sits in the same part of the world as New Zealand, where the Lord of the Rings films were shot. But Australia also has a reputation for giant spiders, snakes, and an impressive lineup of wildlife that seems permanently angry.

Sarah tracks storms for a living, so if anyone is equipped to survive the land down under, it’s her. Still, we’re wishing her safe travels, strong situational awareness, and minimal encounters with anything that has more legs than necessary.

While the rest of the country just met Sarah Coria on The Price Is Right, here in El Paso, we know her a little differently.

She may be the StormTrack Weather expert on KVIA 7, but she’s also our weather person right here on Iris & Grizz in the Morning. She regularly joins us on air, keeping listeners informed while fitting seamlessly into the flow of the show.

The connection goes beyond quick weather hits. Iris, Grizz, and Sarah have even done a commercial together, which makes this win feel especially personal. When someone you work with, collaborate with, and laugh with hits it big on national television, it feels like a victory for the entire city.

El Paso Keeps Showing Up on National Game Show Stages

Sarah Coria’s win feels even bigger because it fits into a growing trend. Over the past couple of years, El Pasoans have been showing up on national game shows at an impressive rate, and it’s starting to feel less like coincidence and more like a pattern.

Just last year, two El Pasoans competed on the same trivia game show, The Floor, holding their own under intense pressure and bright studio lights. In 2024, an El Paso family took the stage on Family Feud, bringing Borderland energy to one of the most iconic game shows of all time.

El Paso has also been represented on Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, Let’s Make a Deal, The Cube, and The Price Is Right more than once in recent years. Different formats, different challenges, same result. El Paso shows up ready.

Whether it’s quick thinking, confidence under pressure, or that unshakable grit that comes from growing up here, something about this city prepares people for moments like these.

So when Sarah Coria stepped onto The Price Is Right stage, won big, and earned a trip halfway across the world, it didn’t feel random. It felt like the latest chapter in a story El Paso keeps telling on national television.

From tracking storms on KVIA 7, to joining us on Iris & Grizz in the Morning, to representing the Borderland under studio lights, Sarah’s win is a reminder that El Paso doesn’t just watch the game.

We play it.
