STANFORD, Calif. – Redshirt freshman Aden Valencia has been voted the ACC Wrestler of the Week, the conference announced today.
Valencia, who entered last week ranked No. 18 at 149 pounds by InterMat, knocked off second-ranked Casey Swiderski of Oklahoma State on the road with a dominating 13-3 major decision. Valencia registered three takedowns, an escape, two stalling points and riding time in the win. It marks the highest-ranked win of his career.
It is the first weekly honor for Valencia and the fourth all-time for Stanford as a member of the ACC.
