DORMAGEN, Germany – Two American women wrestlers won gold medals, and two others reached the gold-medal finals to be held Sunday at the 2019 Grand Prix of Germany.
The individual champions were Elite Accelerator Program athlete Cameron Guerin (Yakima, Wash./TMWC/EAP) at 55 kg/121 lbs. and WCWA national champion Dymond Guilford (Lancaster, Calif./Missouri Baptist WC) at 72 kg/158.5 lbs. Both wrestled in weight classes which were round robins, and organizers chose to complete those weight classes today.
Guerin finished 3-1 in a five-athlete round robin and won the weight class by tiebreaker procedure, as none of the athletes completed the day unbeaten. Guerin won her first three bouts over foreign opponents, beating Jeannie Kessler of Austria, 10-1, then got a technical falls over Anastastia Blayvas of Germany and Florine Schedler of Austria.
In her final round robin bout, Guerin was pinned by American Areana Villaescusa in 4:52. Guerin and Blayvas both went 3-1, and Guerin beat her head-to-head to take the gold. Villeaescusa went 2-2 and finished fourth.
Guilford, who won a WCWA title for Missouri Baptist a few weeks ago, won all three of her matches. Included in her victories was a 10-0 technical fall over Andrea Sennett (Wheeling, Ill./McKendree Bearcat Wrestling), who finished 2-1 and got the silver medal.
Making gold-medal finals in their weight classes were four-time U.S. World Team member Whitney Conder (Colorado Springs, Colo./U.S. Army WCAP) at 50 kg/110 lbs. and Amanda Hendey (Colorado Springs, Colo./TMWC) at 65 kg/143 lbs.
Conder won two of her three bouts against U.S. opponents, stopping Amy Fearnside 7-2 in the quarterfinals and Victoria Anthony, 7-3 in the semifinals. Conder had beaten Anthony in Final X to make the 2018 World Team. Conder will battle Katharina Baumgartner of Germany in the finals.
Hendey had a strong day. She opened with a tight 7-6 win over Gabriella Sleisz of Hungary, then got past Sara Da Col of Italy, 7-4. In the semifinals, she defeated 2018 Cadet World champion Macey Kilty of the USA, 10-8. Her finals opponent is past World medalist Braxton Stone of Canada.
Five U.S. wrestlers who lost in the semifinals will have bronze-medal bouts on Sunday: Anthony, Kilty, plus Brenda Reyna (Mount Vernon, Wash./Titan Mercury WC/McKendree Bearcat WC) at 59 kg/130 lbs.,, Maya Nelson (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 62 kg/136 lbs. and Julia Salata (Bristol, Tenn./NYAC) at 65 kg/143 lbs.
Four other Americans are in the repechage on Sunday morning: Amy Fearnside (Colorado Springs, Colo./TMWC) at 50 kg/110 lbs., Jacarra Winchester (Colorado Springs, Colo./TMWC) at 57 kg/125 lbs.. Mallory Velte (Burnaby, B.C., Canada/TMWC) at 62 kg/136 lbs. and Alexandria Glaude (West Sacramento, Calif./TMWC/McKendree Bearcat WC) at 68 kg/149.5 lbs.
The eight remaining weight classes will finish on Sunday morning, with a session starting at 9:30 a.m. local time, which is six hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time.
