Blake Miller Named MEC Wrestler of the Week

12/20/2022 4:00:00 PM

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. - West Liberty's 157-pound Blake Miller has been named the Mountain East Conference Wrestler of the Week, announced by the conference office today.

Miller went 3-0 at the Hilltopper Duals on Friday with two tech falls followed by a huge pin in the middle bout of the win over #15 Millersville. He got the day started with a 20-5 tech fall over Emory & Henry, then downed his Davis & Elkins opponent in the first period off a second straight tech fall. In the Millersville bout, Miller faced an early 2-0 deficit and roared back in the second period slamming down his opposition for a pin to erupt the home crowd, a key six points in the win over nationally-ranked Millersville, West Liberty's 15th straight dual win.

The MEC Weekly Awards are presented by The Health Plan. This is the Hilltoppers second Wrestler of the Week, after Ty McGeary earned the honor on November 21.

Miller and the nationally-ranked Hilltoppers will be back on the mat at the NWCA National Duals after the holidays on January 6th and 7th in Louisville, Ky.
