The US Olympic wrestling trials took place over the weekend, resulting in six women athletes walking off the mat with a ticket to Tokyo. The first to qualify was Tamyra Mensah-Stock in the 68-kilogram weight class. Two women made their second Olympic teams to date: Adeline Gray (76 kilograms) and Helen Maroulis (57 kilograms). The other three athletes rounding out Team USA on the women’s freestyle side are Sarah Hildebrandt (50 kilograms), Jacarra Winchester (53 kilograms), and Kayla Miracle (62 kilograms).
