In the women’s division, Liz Sera took the bronze at 55 kg defeating teammate, Jennifer Nguyen who settled for fourth.  London-Western teammate Olivia Gunnell won bronze at 59 kg.  The women’s team did not break the top three in team standings which was won by the University of Saskatchewan (30 points) followed by Brock (25 points) and Lakehead (15 points). 

Several team members did not compete due to the conflict with the Provincial Junior (U20) Wrestling Championships held the same day in Hamilton where the men’s team, representing the London-Western Wrestling Club, won the overall team title.  The women placed third overall.
