ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The U.S. Beach National Championships were hosted at Ontario Beach Park on Saturday.

Martin was the only champion to have won a previous Beach Nationals title. He was a 2010 Beach Nationals champion at 170 pounds. Martin defeated Brian Guilfoyle, who was a two-time Beach Nationals champion, in the finals, 2-0.

Both Martin and Guilfoyle defeated 2011 Beach World silver medalist Donovan DePatto of the U.S. Marines in bout prior to the roundrobin. DePatto ended up fourth.

The U.S. Marine Corps had a strong performance with two champions in the highest weight divisions. 

Simmons won both of his matches in the championship roundrobin, including a victory over his teammate and eventual runner-up Courtney Myers of the Marines, 2-1.

Fish won a competitive three-athlete round-robin, where all three of the wrestlers finished with 1-1 records in the roundrobin.  All three round-robin matches were pins. Fish pinned two-time Beach Nationals champion Jamison Sacco of Western New England in 2:15. Sacco pinned Ruslan Mukhamadyyarov in 2:53. Mukhamadyyarov put away Fish in 2:40.

Chamish had a 2-0 record in his round-robin finals, including a 1-0 win over runner-up Adam Willman (Unattached).
