    Hashimoto named WWC Wrestler of the Week

    CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - University of Northern Colorado sophomore 141-pounder Kenny Hashimoto has been named the Western Wrestling Conference Wrestler of the Week as announced by league officials.

    Hashimoto (Thornton, Colo./Thornton HS) won both his matches this week for the Bears. On Friday, he shut out Northern Iowa's Mike Whisler with
    a 16-0 technical fall, and the following night he pinned No. 19 Kyle
    Larson from Oregon State. In that match, Larson got a quick takedown for
    a 2-0 lead, but Hashimoto recovered with a reversal and soon after
    pinned Larson, just 1:03 into the match.

    Hashimoto is ranked 14th at 141 pounds in the latest InterMat/NWCA
    national rankings and has posted a 14-2 mark this season. It marks the
    second team this season Hashimoto has taken home the WWC Wrestler of the
    Week honor.
