Ronna Heaton, 2015 Cadet World Champ, will be replacing Becka Leathers as the 55kg representative for Team USA at the Women's Freestyle junior World Championships in Macon, France.

Leathers served as a workout partner for the Women's Freestyle Olympic team in Rio and will now be replaced by Heaton due to illness.

Heaton was the runner-up to Leathers at the Body Bar Women's National Championships, who bested her two matches to none in the best of the three series. Heaton will also represent Team USA at the Cadet World Championships in Tbilisi, Geo at 52kg as well as she looks to claim another title.
