LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two former Hawaii athletes claimed victories last night at the US national wrestling championships in Las Vegas. Roosevelt High School alum Clarissa Chun won the women's freestyle national title in the 105-and-a-half-pound division with a 3-0, 1-0 victory against Sara Fulp-Allen. Moanalua alum Stephany Lee won the final match of the evening with a 3-0, 4-0 victory against Jenna Pavlik for the 158-and-a-half-pound title. The top seven finishers in each weight class advance to the world team trials in late May in Council Bluffs, Iowa. (Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved)
