    Capturing bronze medals with big pins in the evening session were Marina Doi, Kingsburg, Calif. (Titan Mercury WC) at 44 kilos/97 pounds and Kayla Miracle (Campbellsville, Ky./Sunkist Kids) at 59 kilos/130 pounds.

    Both athletes won their first FILA Junior World medals, after a successful career on the FILA Cadet level. Doi won three Cadet World medals, including a Cadet World title, while Miracle was a Cadet World silver medalist.
