    LAS VEGAS -- The women's freestyle finals of the Marine Corps U.S. Open had a mix of veteran champions and young new talents at the South Point Arena on Friday night.

    One of the most anticipated finals, 2016 World Team member Sarah Hildebrandt of the New York AC defeated 2016 Olympian and 2017 World Team member Haley Augello of the New York AC, 6-1. Hildebrandt scored two takedowns in the first period and another in the second period to win her first U.S. Open title. Hildebrandt was named Outstanding Wrestler in the women's division.

    Kayla Miracle of the Sunkist Kids won her second straight U.S. Open title, defeating 2017 World Team member Mallory Velte of the Titan Mercury WC, 3-0 in another showcase final. Miracle, who has won Cadet and Junior World medals for the USA, scored her first point when Velte was hit with a shot clock violation, and added a takedown for her other two points. Miracle finished her college career at Campbellsville this year as a four-time WCWA champion.
