CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- Air Force Academy freshman 141-pounder Cole VonOhlen (Jackson, Minn./Jackson County Central HS) has been named the Western Wrestling Conference's Wrestler of the Week as announced by league officials.
VonOhlen made the most of his return from injury, compiling a 2-0 record in a pair of duals for the Falcons last week. VonOhlen, who missed nearly a month of action, posted an 18-6 decision over Southern Oregon's Barry Johnson, who is currently ranked eighth in the NAIA at 141 pounds. He then added an 8-5 decision over Oregon State's Mike Mangrum to give Air Force its only individual win over the 25th-ranked Beavers. VonOhlen now leads the Falcons in win percentage on the young season with a 9-3 overall record (.750) and a 2-0 dual record.
The Western Wrestling Conference is comprised of seven schools including the Air Force Academy, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, Northern Iowa, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming.
