When
Mikey Racciato is on the mat there is rarely ever a dull moment. And that was definitely the case this weekend.
Racciato started with a 3-2 win over Lehigh’s #
11-ranked Randy Cruz when he and the Panthers visited Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall on Friday. Then he followed it up with a first place finish at the Keystone Classic where he defeated Richard Durso and
#12-Todd Preston in the semis and finals. Before edging out Durso and Preston, he recorded a technical fall and major decision to get his championship run started on Sunday.
His impressive performance, which helped Pitt claim the team title, also earned him the OW award.
And now Mikey Racciato is our FloWrestler of the Week.
