    Reynolds becomes Adams State's third RMAC Wrestler of the Week

    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Adams State College junior James Reynolds (Monte Vista, Colo.) was named as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's Wrestler of the Week on Thursday after claiming the 174-pound weight class title and Most Outstanding Wrestler Honor at Saturday's Colorado Collegiate Invitational, that the Grizzlies hosted in Plachy Hall.

    Defeating Colorado Mines freshman Dave Tedrow in the quarterfinals, Reynolds knocked off Shawn Hart of Division I Northern Colorado, the top seed, in the semifinals before claiming his first career tournament title with a championship win over Western State's Charlie Pipher, the tournament's third seed and the Nov. 23 RMAC Wrestler of the Week.

    Reynolds, who was seeded just fourth in that tournament, is the third Grizzly to earn RMAC Wrestler of the Week honors this season joining 125-pound senior Rob McCabe (Nucla, Colo.) and 133-pound sophomore Raymond Dunning (Nashville, Tenn.), who earned the Nov. 17 and Jan. 12 honors, respectively.

    The Sargent High School graduate sports a 13-12 record this year and continues to be ranked seventh in his weight class according to the NCAA Division II National Wrestling Coaches Association Poll. He is the RMAC's only representative in the national rankings at 174 pounds.
