POCONO MANOR, Pa. – The USA Wrestling Regionals Series continued at the Phil Portuese Northeast Regional Championships. More than 2,200 wrestlers, including Senior-level Greco-Roman athletes, competed at Kalahari Resorts in Pocono Manor, Pa.


A trio of World medalists headlined the double champions in Pennsylvania this weekend. Two-time U17 bronze medalist Jaclyn Bouzakis (110 pounds) of Pennsylvania, 2024 World champion for Canada Kaura Coles (120 pounds) of Pennsylvania and two-time U17 World champion Taina Fernandez (155 pounds) of Maryland all captured Junior Girls titles in freestyle and Greco-Roman.


In the Junior Boys division, Pennsylvania’s Ben Kinney was the lone double champion following his freestyle and Greco-Roman titles at 100 pounds.
