FloWrestler of the Week: Macey Kilty, Wisconsin
Macey Kilty won two titles and two Outstanding Wrestler awards in Fargo.
Two of everything is always better, isn't it?
At least that's how it was for Macey Kilty in Fargo, North Dakota. The cadet world medalist completely obliterated the field in the cadet tournament in impressive fashion on her way to the winning the 127-pound cadet title. Kilty shut out every single one of her opponents, scoring 47 total points which included three technical falls and two pins. Her performance earned her the Outstanding Wrestler (OW) honor.
But she was far from being done.
She followed up her dominant performance with another one in the junior tournament to win the title at the same weight, along with winning her second OW award of the tournament. Kilty defeated last year's champion Brenda Reyna in the semifinals en route to her junior title, and then took out two-time cadet world finalist and one-time champion Ronna Heaton in the finals. Her run to the junior title started the same way her cadet run ended: flawlessly. It wasn't until the quarterfinal match that she gave up her first point of the weekend. But it didn't matter and, ultimately, Kilty went on to finish at the top once again.
Kilty won both 127-pound titles and both OW awards. She was the definition of dominance, and that is why she is the FloWrestler of the Week.
Watch Macey Kilty defeat Ronna Heaton in the junior women's freestyle finals.
FloWrestler of the Week Nominees:
As you can see from Kilty's results above, it was a pretty incredible weekend of wrestling with plenty of athletes performing well on the big stage in the Fargo Dome.
