The women’s freestyle finals of the Marine Corps U.S. Open had a mix of veteran champions and young new talents at the South Point Arena on Friday night.
Three-time World champion Adeline Gray of the New York AC won her fourth U.S. Open title, with a dominant 10-0 technical fall victory over young Leilani Camrgo-Noane of the MWC Wrestling Academy at 76 kg. Gray scored a takedown and added four straight turns to close out the match. Gray missed the 2017 season to recover from injury and has come back strong since returning to competition in the fall.
“It was very hard to come back. Then my first couple tournaments I wrestled back-to-back, and there were some hard weight cuts and I got sick so it really wasn’t the best kind of bringing me back in and ease me into wrestling. Still had some great tournaments and awesome matches with international competition so I’m looking forward to keeping that ball rolling for another month,” said Gray.
