Wrestlers from the United States dominated the women's and men's freestyle divisions at the FILA Manitoba Open in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Jan. 30-31. U.S. women won six of the seven gold medals, while U.S. men won five of the seven gold medals. Capturing gold medals in the women's division were Patricia Miranda (Colorado Springs, Colo./Dave Schultz WC) at 48 kg/105.5 lbs., Malinda Ripley (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 51 kg/112.25 lbs., Tela O'Donnell (Colorado Springs, Colo./Dave Schultz WC) at 55kg/121 lbs., Erin Tomeo (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 59 kg/130 lbs., Sara McMann (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 63 kg/138.75 lbs. and Stephany Lee (Honolulu, Hawaii, Missouri Valley College) at 72 kg/158.5 lbs. Capturing the gold medals in the men's division were Teague Moore (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 55 kg/121 lbs.. Mike Zadick (Iowa City, Iowa/Hawkeye WC) at 60 kg/132 lbs., Cael Sanderson (Ames, Iowa/Sunkist Kids) at 84 kg/185 lbs., Wes Hand (Iowa City, Iowa/Sunkist Kids) at 96 kg/211.5 lbs. and Kerry McCoy (Bethlehem, Pa./New York AC) at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. Host Canada won two gold medals, one in each the men's and women's divisions, and an athlete from Finland won the other men's gold medal. In the women's division, McMann wrestled two-time World champion Kristie Marano (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) twice during the tournament, splitting the two bouts. Marano won the first match during the pool competition by a 6-4 score, and she went on to win the pool. Because there were three pools, McMann qualified for a repechage wrestle-off, which she won, which placed her into the semifinals. McMann and Marano both qualified for the finals, where McMann claimed a 7-3 decision for the gold-medal. O'Donnell had a tremendous tournament to claim her title. She had to beat a pair of past World medalists in her pool, Ida Therese Karlsson of Sweden and Jenny Wong of the United States. In the semifinals, she pinned Canadian star Jennifer Ryz in 5:38. In the gold-medal finals, she beat Karlsson again, this time by a 7-2 margin. A truly dominating performance was turned in by Miranda, with four technical falls and a pin, dominating every match. On the men's side, the two 2003 U.S. World Team members in the field won their competition handily, Sanderson and McCoy. Sanderson scored four technical falls and a pin. McCoy had three technical falls and an injury default win. In four weight classes, U.S. wrestlers met in the championship finals. In two of these weight classes, the United States swept all three medals in the division, women's 48 kg/105.5 lbs. and men's 84 kg/185 lbs. U.S. silver medalists were Marano, Katie Kunimoto (Colorado Springs, Colo./Gator WC) at 48 kg/105.5 lbs. on the women's side and Andy Hrovat (Ann Arbor, Mich./New York AC) at 84 kg/185 lbs., and Mo Lawal (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 96 kg/211.5 lbs. on the men's side. U.S. bronze medalists among women were Sara Fulp-Allen (Atherton, Calif./Menlo College) at 48 kg/105.5 lbs., Brooke Bogren (Carbondale, Kan./Missouri Valley) at 59 kg/130 lbs. and Kelly Branham (Apache Junction, Ariz./Missouri Valley) at 67 kg/147.5 lbs.
