Centerville, IA – Freshman Nevaeh Hayen (Tulsa, OK/Union) of the No. 1 nationally ranked Indian Hills Women's Wrestling squad has been named this week's Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) Athlete of the Week, announced Tuesday afternoon.
Hayden, the No. 4 ranked pound-for-pound wrestler in the nation, and ranked No. 1 at 180lbs in both the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and The Open Mat ratings, powered the Warriors to three wins at the Eagle Duals in Kanas City, MO on Friday. Hayden dominated both of her matches to remain unbeaten on the year.
Hayden went 2-0 on the day with two solid outings. Hayden opened the day with a pin in 45 seconds against Wayland Baptist before closing out the day with a fall in 1:56 against Ottawa.
Hayden is undefeated on the year in nine matches. The freshman has not seen a match move past the first round and has totaled seven pins on the year, including five in less than a minute.
The Warriors return to action January 15 at the Multi-Purpose Building in Centerville with an Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) clash vs. Iowa Central Community College as part of a doubleheader with the men's team.
