GUELPH, Canada – The United States had three champions and eight medalists at the Guelph Open, a top men’s and women’s freestyle event in Canada on Saturday.


Capturing golds in women’s freestyle were Jennifer Page (Colorado Springs, Colo./Titan Mercury WC) at 63 kg/138.75 lbs. and Arian Carpio (Tempe, Ariz. /Sunkist Kids) at 60 kg/132 lbs. Winning a gold in men’s freestyle was J.T. Felix (Ann Arbor, Mich../Cliff Keen WC) at 97 kg/213 lbs.


Page, a past Junior World medalist, defeated Canadian Temitope Oqunjimi of Dinos WC in the gold-medal match. Page was a 2016 U.S. Open runner-up.


Carpio won the gold medal uncontested at 60 kg/132 lbs., and also moved up a weight to compete at 63 kg/138.75 lbs., where she placed sixth.


Felix defeated Canadian Yiannis Narlidis of Team Impact in his championship match by technical fall. The former Boise State star, who was sixth at the 2016 U.S. Open, is in his first full season on the national freestyle scene.

Futrell (Ann Arbor, Mich./Cliff Keen WC) at 65 kg/143 lbs. in men’s freestyle, plus women wrestlers Kelsey Campbell (Tempe, Ariz../Sunkist Kids) at 58 kg/128 lbs. and 2016 U.S. Open champion Michaela Hutchison (Lebanon, Ill./Titan Mercury WC) at 53 kg/116.5 lbs.
