BURNABY, B.C., Canada – Six U.S. women wrestlers who compete at the college level won gold medals at the respected SFU International on Saturday. The seventh U.S. champion was two-time Senior World Team member Victoria Anthony.
The tournament featured a number of top Canadian Senior-level wrestlers, as well as many college wrestlers from the United States and Canada.
Individual champions from the USA who compete for McKendree University were Emma Bruntil (62 kg) and Alexandria Glaude (72 kg).
Bruntil defeated Canadian Julie Steffer of the Brock WC in the finals, with a 10-0 technical fall.
Glaude, a 2019 WCWA champion who is No. 2 on the U.S. Senior Women’s National Team, defeated another U.S. wrestler, Skylar Grote of the Brock WC, 6-2 in the finals. Grote is a native of New Jersey who goes to college in Canada.
Two champions who wrestle for Simon Fraser University in Canada, but hail from the United States, won titles, Alex Hedrick (55 kg) and Emily Cue (90 kg).
Hedrick, a California native who represented the Titan Mercury WC in this event, stopped Phoenix Dubose of King in the finals, 7-2. Hedrick was No. 2 on the U.S. Senior National Team in 2018.
Cue, who hails from Colorado, defeated another American, Sydnee Kimber of McKendree, in the finals 12-4.
Anthony, a two-time Junior World champion who was fifth in the Senior Worlds twice, returned to her alma mater to compete. Anthony was a four-time WCWA national champion for Simon Fraser. She won her first two matches by technical fall. In the finals, Canadian Jess MacDonald, of the Brock WC, a past World champion, forfeited the match to her.
The two U.S. athletes who were champions for King University were Alyssa Aceval (59 kg) and Ashlynn Ortega (65 kg)
Aceval won a three-athlete round-robin, scoring two pins of just 19 seconds and 22 seconds. Ortega scored a 3-1 victory over Canadian Michelle Fazzari of the Brock WC, a 2017 Senior World bronze medalist.
