Although four of the six champion are past winners, rookie champion Toccara Montgomery (Cleveland, Ohio/Sunkist Kids) stole the show and claimed the Outstanding Wrestler award at the 2001 U.S. Women's Nationals at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, April 14.    Montgomery, a high school athlete, defeated a pair of World Champions on the way to the gold medal at 149.75 pounds. In the championship finals, Montgomery defeated 2000 World Champion Kristie Marano (Albany, N.Y./ATWA), 8-3. In the semifinals, Montgomery also stopped 1999 World Champion Sandy Bacher (San Jose, Calif./Dave Schultz WC) in a wide-open match.    The other new champion also grew up in the Cleveland area, and competed for the same club coaches: 123.25-pound champion Tina Wilson (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids). Wilson pinned Erin Tomeo (Volant, Pa./Sunkist Kids), in 3:16 in the finals. Wilson has competed on three U.S. World Teams, but had never not won a previous U.S. Nationals gold.    Two of the champions are veterans, and have won the event many times: Tricia Saunders (Phoenix, Ariz./Sunkist Kids) at 101.25 pounds and Stephanie Murata (Lansing, Mich./Sunkist Kids) at 123.25 pounds.    Saunders, a four-time World Champion, won her record 11th U.S. Nationals gold medal. She defeated Julie Gonzales (Vallejo, Calif./Dave Schultz WC), 8-0 in the finals.    Murata won the U.S. Nationals for the sixth straight year, defeating Jenny Wong (Stillwater, Minn./Sunkist Kids), 9-3 in the finals.    The other two champions claimed U.S. Nationals titles for the second straight year: Sara McMann (Lock Haven, Pa./Sunkist Kids) at 136.5 pounds and  Iris Smith (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 165.25 pounds.    McMann pinned Tonya Evinger (Bates City, Mo./Missouri Valley), in the gold-medal finals in 4:18. Smith also won by pin, stopping top-seeded Satrinina Vernon (Rodeo, Calif./Missouri Valley), in 5:20.    The team title was one of the closest in history, with Missouri Valley College placing first with 63 points, just one point ahead of runner-up Sunkist Kids with 62 points.    The Most Falls Award went to Alicia Mena (St. Paul, Minn./Minnesota Storm), with four pins in a combined 4:17.
