    Kahnke named NSIC Wrestler of the Week

    St. Cloud State University redshirt sophomore Jacob Kahnke (Shakopee/Prior Lake H.S.) was named as the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Wrestler of the Week on Dec. 13.

    Kahnke gained the league thanks to a first place finish at the 2010 Holiday Inn & Suites/Husky Open in the 285-pound bracket on Dec. 11. Kahnke rolled to a 4-0 record in the tournament, which moves his 2010-11 season record to 10-2 overall.

    Kahnke earned two consecutive pins in the opening two rounds of the tournament on Dec. 11, and then charted an 8-2 victory over UW-Parkside's James Malecheck in the semi-finals. In the championship match, Kahnke notched a 4-0 victory over Minnesota's Jacob Kettler.

    Of note, Kahnke is currently ranked #2 at 285-pounds in the latest NCAA Division II national coaches' poll. As a team, the Huskies are also ranked #2 in the nation in the latest Division II coaches' poll. At the 2010 Husky Open, Kahnke was joined in the winners' circle by teammates junior Tad Merritt (165-pounds) and junior Lucas Munkelwitz (197-pounds) who both earned first place finishes in their respective weight brackets.

    The Huskies will enjoy a break for the holiday before returning to action on Jan. 1 with a trip to the Grand Canyon Duals in Phoenix, Ariz.
