WEXFORD, Pa. (Jan. 19) – After going a perfect 4-0 on the mats this past week, Waynesburg junior Nick Garber was named the latest Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Wrestler of the Week.
This is the third such award for Garber this season, making him the first three-time award-winner since the 2006-07 season. The Waynesburg native picked up the honor after going a perfect 4-0 this past week and putting an impressive display at the Washington & Lee Invitational on Saturday.
At W&L, Garber led the Yellow Jackets to their second-straight team title by picking up three first-period pins, winning the 141-pound title, and being named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. The title-clinching fall came in 1:11 over second-seeded Sam Campbell of Washington & Lee.
Garber, who has been ranked as highly as second in Division III at 141, started the week with a 5-0 decision over McDaniel’s Mike Trancedi.
