by Melissa McKeown
Air Force junior heavyweight Anthony Stegeman is the Western Wrestling Conference Wrestler of the Week as announced by league officials Jan. 31. Stegeman becomes the first Air Force wrestler to earn conference accolades.
Stegeman led the Falcons in three dual meets last weekend, going undefeated. Stegeman opened with a fall, his fourth of the year, over North Dakota State's Justin LaGosh, registering a pin in a time of 4:34. He then notched an 8-3 decision over Adams State's Jeff Schossow and closed out the weekend with a tech fall over Portland State's Zack Smith.
With the victories, Stegeman snapped his eight-match losing streak and improves his dual mark to 5-8.
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 State and Wyoming.
