Wheaton, Ill. - Wheaton senior
Ethan Harsted has been named the CCIW Wrestling Student-Athlete of the Week for his performance at last weekend's Pete Willson Wheaton Invitational. Harsted is now a three-time recipient of the award, also earning the recognition on January 18, 2022 and January 17, 2023.
Harsted became the fourth Wheaton wrestler to win a title at the prestegious home event since 2000, as he won five times over the course of the two-day tournament. A victory via pinfall kicked off his run to the finals, followed by back-to-back major decisions and a 3-1 sudden victory over Bradley Rosen of North Central in the semifinal round. Harsted won a hard-fought 2-1 decision in the championship match against Jake Dado of Ozarks due to his 1:09 advantage in riding time.
