GREENVILLE, S.C. - After winning the 133-lb Midwest Classic bracket over the weekend by knocking off a pair of nationally-ranked opponents, Christian Davis has been named the Conference Carolinas Wrestler of the Week as announced by the league this afternoon. Davis is the second Lander wrestler to earn the weekly honor this season and the second freshman to earn the honor, joining Issac Sheeren who earned the award in the first week of the season.

Davis earned the honor on the back of a perfect 5-0 week at the prestigious Midwest Classic that saw him become the fourth Midwest Classic Champion in program history as well as the first freshman to win the tournament in program history. Of his five wins, three of them came by bonus point margins, one of which a 10-2 major decision over the fourth-ranked wrestler in his weight class in Peter Rolle of Central Oklahoma. Davis picked up the tournament title with a dominant 8-2 win over the second-ranked wrestler in his class, Reece Barnhardt of UMary.

Davis now sits at 20-2 on the season with 12 of those wins coming by major decision, tech fall, or pin, most on the team.

The Lander Wrestling team will return to action after the new year as they face Emory and Henry on January 2nd. That match is scheduled for a 7:00 PM start.
