TALLINN, Estonia – The United States won 14 medals in three women’s age-groups in Europe’s largest tournament, the Tallinn Open on Sunday. There were five young women from the United States who were able to claim gold medals from this group of athletes.

Four U.S. athletes won U17 gold medals: Emma Grimes of Wyoming Seminary (39 kg), Camryn Gresham of Ohio (46 kg), Ava Guilmette of Wyoming Seminary (54 kg) and Victoria Carbonaro of Apex (58 kg).

Grimes won four matches, including a pin and a technical fall, and beat Laura Talvensaari of Finland, 4-0 in the finals.

Gresham won five straight matches, with three technical falls. She beat Anita Przybl of Poland, 8-0 in the finals. It was her second straight year with a Tallinn Open victory.

Guilmette won six matches, three by fall and three by technical fall. She outscored her opponents 51-0 in the six matches. Her finals victory was a 10-0 technical fall over Miranda Kapanadze of Georgia, 10-0.

Carbonaro went 5-1 for the tournament. She lost a 4-4 criteria match in her pool competition, but nobody was unbeaten in the pool, and her three technical falls and one pin helped her advance to the finals. She stopped Zuzanna Horbik of Poland, 8-4 for the title.

In the U17 division, Isis France of Wyoming Seminary claimed the 61 kg gold medal with five straight wins, including a pin and two technical falls. France won her finals bout by technical fall, 12-2 over Saga Svensson of Sweden.

Wyoming Seminary, the top high school team in the nation, won nine medals, with golds from Grimes, Guilmette and France. Claiming silver medals for Wyoming Seminary were Clare Booe (50 kg, U20), Virginia Foard (53 kg, U20), Amelia Murphy (49 kg, U17) and Alexandria Alli (73 kg, U17).
