Kish named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week

January 25, 2006

Sophomore Roger Kish has been named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week after defeating a pair of top-10 opponents last weekend. This is the fifth time in 11 weeks that a Golden Gopher wrestler has been honored by the conference.

Last Friday against Northwestern, Kish defeated 10th-ranked Mike Tamillow at 184 pounds. On Sunday, he earned a 4-1 decision against sixth-ranked Paul Bradley of Iowa. Bradley entered the match with two wins over Kish.

A native of LaPeer, Mich., Kish is ranked eighth in the country with a 24-3 record. He has won 12 of his last 13 matches.

The top-ranked Golden Gophers hit the road this weekend for duals at Ohio State on Friday and at No. 9 Penn State on Sunday.
