Four wrestlers will attempt to double up on their National titles today. These women won Cadet titles on Sunday and will now try to add a Junior title to their trophy cases.

At 100 pounds, Sage Mortimer of Utah will be in the first championship match this afternoon. She’ll square off with Ruayana Sahagun of Michigan. Mortimer won a Cadet title last year and was a Junior runner-up. Additionally she was the first woman to earn All-American honors in Greco-Roman.

Kennedy Blades of Illinois, the No. 1 wrestler in the country at 164 pounds, will wrestle the No. 2 wrestler in the country Tristan Kelly of Colorado for the opportunity to double up. Blades was the Outstanding Wrestler of the Cadet tournament.

Missouri’s Faith Cole will have a tough task in trying to dethrone three-time Junior National champion Emily Shilson of Minnesota in the 106 pound finals. Shilson is a 2018 Cadet World champion.

The final wrestler going for two titles is Jenifer Soto of California. She will also face an extremely credentialed wrestler in Tiare Ikei of Hawaii. Ikei won the Senior U.S. Open this April and finished third in the 2018 Cadet World Championships.

Six of the seven No. 1 ranked wrestlers in the country won their semifinals matches. The lone upset came at 200 pounds where Angela Buenrrostro took out 2019 Cadet champion, Olivia Brown of Oklahoma, 10-0.

The finals will start at 2:00 p.m. CST and will be streamed on Flowrestling.
