Kayle Miracle won a 2022 Final X series against Jennifer Page, two matches to one.

Kayla Miracle vs. Jennifer Page at 2026 Final X for 2026 U.S. World Championship Team spot on Friday, June 19 at Prudential Center.

Kayla Miracle, a two-time Olympian and two-time World silver medalist, will face 2023 World bronze medalist Jennifer Page in the women’s freestyle 65 kg series at 2026 Final X, presented by Kerberos Capital Management. Miracle and Page will duel for a spot on the 2026 U.S. World Team on June 19 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.


Miracle punched her ticket to Final X by winning the 2026 U.S. Open Championships in Las Vegas, recording two technical falls and a pin before shutting out 2023 Senior World Team member Emma Bruntil, 11-0, in the finals.


A four-time Senior World Team member, Miracle is chasing a roster spot at a new weight, 65 kg. After her 65 kg debut at the U.S. Open, she won gold at the 2026 Pan American Championships with two technical falls. A 2020 and 2024 Olympian at 62 kg, she last competed at the Senior World Championships in 2023, when she took 14th place after back-to-back silver-medal runs in 2021 and 2022. She is also a two-time U20 World bronze medalist (2024 and 2016).


Page qualified for Final X by rolling through the 2026 Senior World Team Trials Challenge Tournament with three wins. She opened with a 10-0 technical fall in the quarterfinals, added a pin in the semifinals and edged Bruntil, 4-2, in the finals.


In her lone Senior World Team appearance, Page earned a bronze medal in 2023. She is a two-time age-group World Team member and a 2013 U20 World bronze medalist.


Miracle and Page have met six times on the Senior level, with Miracle holding a 4-2 advantage in the series. They split their first two meetings at the Bill Farrell Memorial, as Miracle earned a 13-3 win in 2015 before Page prevailed on criteria, 2-2, in 2016. They didn't meet again until 2022, when Miracle took the series lead with an 18-second fall at the 2022 U.S. Open. Later that year, the pair squared off in a Final X series. Page claimed the opening match, 13-2, but Miracle responded with back-to-back victories, 12-2 and 5-3, to win the Final X series.


What’s at stake at Final X?

Final X will determine the 2026 U.S. Senior World Team in two-of-three international disciplines — men’s freestyle and women’s freestyle. In total, 20 weight classes will be contested, 10 in each discipline. The top two U.S. athletes in each weight class will wrestle a best-of-three series at Final X to determine the U.S. representative for the 2026 Senior World Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan.


Miracle is making her sixth Final X appearance. She owns series wins over Mallory Velte (2019), Page (2022) and Adaugo Nwachukwu (2023) and carries an 8-5 overall match record at Final X. Miracle has never been swept at Final X, and her only series losses came in 2018 against Velte and 2025 against Nwachukwu.


Page is making her third appearance in a Final X best-of-three series. After dropping a 2-1 series to Miracle in 2022, she rebounded in 2023 with a sweep of Michaela Beck, winning both matches by technical fall. She also claimed a true-third victory by forfeit over Bella Mir in 2025.
