United World Wrestling has released its latest women’s freestyle rankings for June.
There are nine American wrestlers ranked in this month’s rankings featuring the top 20 women in each weight class.
The U.S. freestyle wrestlers did not compete in any international tournaments in May. They competed at the U.S. Open, the annual national championships in Las Vegas, with some also wrestling against Cuba in the Beat the Streets Gala event in Times Square in New York City. UWW does not consider national championships or exhibition events like Beat the Streets in its rankings.
Two-time World Champion Adeline Gray (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) maintains the No. 1 ranking at 75 kg. Gray is the only top-ranked U.S. wrestler in the world in all three international styles again this month. She won her third U.S. Open title this month.
There are two other U.S. women in the top 10 of the rankings, and like Gray, their rankings did not change.
World silver and bronze medalist Helen Maroulis (Rockville, Md./Sunkist Kids) retains the No. 2 ranking at 55 kg. She won her sixth U.S. Open title, moving up to 58 kg in Las Vegas, then won her match over Cuba at the Beat the Streets Gala.
2012 World Champion and four-time World medalist Elena Pirozhkova (Colorado Springs, Colo./Titan Mercury WC) retained her No. 3 at 69 kg. She won her seventh straight U.S. Open title in May.
Six U.S. wrestlers appear in the No. 11-20 portion of the rankings this month. Two of them had their rankings unchanged and four dropped lower in the rankings.
Included are 2015 U.S. Open champion Victoria Anthony (Huntington Beach, Calif./Titan Mercury WC), who is No. 14 at 48 kg and Erin Clodgo (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids), who is No. 17 at 63 kg.
Others in the rankings are two-time World bronze medalist Alyssa Lampe (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids), who is No. 12 at 48 kg, Sarah Hildebrandt (Granger, Ind./King University), who is No. 14 at 55 kg, Alli Ragan (Colorado Springs, Colo./NYAC), who is No. 16 at 58 kg and Jennifer Page (Colorado Springs, Colo./Titan Mercury WC), who is No. 16 at 60 kg
Five American women dropped out of the rankings this month, Whitney Conder and Katherine Fulp-Allen at 53 kg, Becka Leathers at 55 kg, Randi Miller at 69 kg and Jackie Cataline at 75 kg.
