ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Sophomore Josh Post was named Empire Collegiate Wrestling Conference Wrestler of the Week, Thursday.
First-year wrestler Josh Post's 4-0 record and first-place finish helped No. 17 RIT to third place at the Mideast Futures Tournament last weekend in Allentown, Pa., after a pair of falls, a technical fall and a decision.
Post won the 141-pound bracket with a 6-2 decision against Cortland's Vincent Santilli, after pinning Alva's Paul Kakos in 4:09 in the semifinals.
Prior to the semifinal win, Post took an 18-3 technical fall over Gettysburg's Anthony Cascio in the quarterfinals before beginning with a fall against Cortland's Ryan Hart in 6:35.
