LEVERKNIGHT NAMED ICCAC WRESTLER OF THE WEEK

Centerville, IA – Freshman Madison Leverknight (Kansas City, MO/Winnetonka) continued an impressive run to open up her collegiate career as the freshman has been named this week's Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) Women's Wrestler of the Week.

The No. 3 ranked 116lb wrestler in the latest National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) rankings, Leverknight posted a 3-0 record at last week's Avila Duals in her hometown of Kansas City. As a team, the Warriors, ranked No. 1 in the NJCAA rankings, posted a 2-1 record in the team duals.

Leverknight opened up the day with an impressive victory over the No. 17 ranked wrestler in the NAIA, Markayla Lottie of host Avila. Leverknight needed just 2:35 of mat time to score a first round pin for the Warriors. The win helped lead the Warriors to a 38-10 win over Avila.

Leverknight followed up in the team's second match with a second consecutive first round fall as the Warriors rolled to a 55-1 victory over Ottawa University (KS).

The freshman picked up a forfeit victory at 116lbs in the team's final dual against the University of Saint Mary, ranked No. 15 in the latest NAIA national rankings.

On the year, Leverknight is 7-0 in duals, scoring three pins and a pair of tech falls along the way. Leverknight has also picked up five victories in open tournaments throughout the first half of the season.
