R. MiesROBBIE MIES SELECTED AS PAC WRESTLER OF THE WEEK (1/11)

WASHINGTON, Pa. -- For the second consecutive week, a Washington & Jefferson College student-athlete, freshman Robbie Mies (Boonsboro, Md./Williamsport), has been selected as the Presidents’ Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week. 

Last week, sophomore Dominick Demor (Georgetown, Pa./South Side Beaver) earned the PAC weekly award.  W&J has collected three of the seven awards this winter.  Freshman 141-pounder Tyler Berger (New Kensington, Pa./Burrell) was also honored on Nov. 16th. 

Mies, who competes in the 197-pound weight class, helped Washington & Jefferson post a 3-0 record at the Washington and Lee (Va.) Quadrangular on Saturday.  Mies won all three of his matches and recorded a fall in each bout. 

He opened the afternoon by pinning Joe Shields of Penn State-DuBois in 3:31.  He then took down Marshall Puls of Gettysburg in 1:29 before defeating Richard Knack of Washington and Lee in 50 seconds. 

Mies improved his record to 9-4 with five falls.  Two weeks ago, Mies placed fourth in the 197-pound bracket at the Florida Citrus Invitational in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The Presidents will be back in action in the same W&L gymnasium Saturday when competing in the Washington and Lee Invitational.  W&J has finished as the team runner-up in each of the last two tournaments hosted by the Generals.
