Parkesburg Native Named ACC Top Wrestler

 
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Tuesday that Parkesburg native and University of Maryland senior Mike Letts had been named the Conference's Wrestler of the Week.

A senior captain for the Terps, Letts finished the regular season with three convincing wins, two of which came against ACC opponents.

Letts pinned Duke’s Brett Klopp in less than three minutes in Saturday’s 48-0 dual-match win before traveling down Tobacco Road to score a 21-8 technical fall against Colin Genthert to help the Terps top No. 24 NC State 35-5 and improve to 4-1 in the conference.

After being honored on Sunday’s Senior Day festivities in College Park, Letts improved to 15-2 in dual meets this season by pinning George Mason’s Aaron Keeton in just 1:59. The Parkesburg, Pa., native has now won eight of his last nine matches and the Terps have won 11 of their last 12 dual meets.

The Parkesburg, Pa., native was also named ACC Wrestler of the Week on Nov. 30 and Dec. 7, 2010.
