Willie Saylor, Editor

Throughout the season, Brute will bring you its National Wrestler of The Week. Wrestlers can be from any age level and will be selected based on their performances from the previous week only.

This week’s honor goes to Virginia Tech 125lber, Jarrod Garnett, who helped pave the way for the Hokies to win the Virginia Duals.

Garnett went 4-0 on the weekend with wins over #6-Christian Cullinan (CMU) and #7-Matt Snyder (UVA).

Other candidates that were considered this week:

Dean Heil, St. Edward, OH - went undefeated at the Detroit Catholic Central Super Duals, with wins over #9-Logan Massa, #13-Ken Bade, and HM-Chris Garcia.

Chris Chionuma, Oklahoma St. - defeated #6-Ethan Lofthouse to help propel the Cowboys to a big dual win over the Hawkeyes.

Jarrod Garnett, Virginia Tech - went 4-0 at the VA Duals including a 6-3 win over #6-Christian Cullinan (CMU) and #7-Matt Snyder (UVA).

Dustin Kilgore, Kent St. - posted a 5-0 record at VA Duals with a forfeit and four pins, one of which came over ASU’s 6th-ranked Jake Meredith.

Murderer’s Row, South Plainfield, NJ - The Tiger’s middle weights fueled their Virginia Duals’ title. From 120 to 138, the Tigers didn’t lose a single bout. Extend that to 120 through 160 and the seven SP middleweights went a combined 24-4.
