GUELPH, Ont. – The World Team Non-Olympic Weight Trials took place at the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Centre at the University of Guelph.

The trials were being used to select non-Olympic weight class spots on the 2018 World Championship team.

Danielle Lappage dominated the 65 kg weight class. The Calgary Dino beat two of her opponents by technical superiority and the other with a pin to claim the title.

Lappage, a 2016 Olympian, was coming off a tough loss at the Women’s Team Trials, where Olivia Di Bacco beat her at 68 kg.

“I have a great coach and support system, they helped me get refocused and re-excited for this chance and this trials,” said Lappage.

“I thought it was really important for me to get another World Championship under my belt. I want to prove to myself that I can perform there.”

Three-time Olympian Haislan Garcia will make his return to the Canadian national team. Garcia won the 70 kg weight class with a win over Vince De Marinis.

Jade Parsons, of Brock Wrestling Club, defeated Abby Lloyd and Cara Nania to take the win at 55 kg.

Saskatoon Wrestling Club’s Hunter Lee, who competes at the junior age group, won at 92 kg. Lee’s victory capped off a successful week for him and his brother Carson, who finished 5^th at the Cadet World Championships earlier this week.
