Ronnie Perry of the LHU wrestling team has been named this week’s Susquehanna Trailways/GoLHU.com Men’s Athlete of the Week.

Perry competed at the Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Championships where he was named the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler for his individual title at the 141-pound weight class.

With his victory Perry automatically qualified for his second trip to the NCAA Division I Championships in St. Louis on March 16 through March 18.

Perry, the No. 2 seed at 141, opened his EWL Tournament with a dominating 17-0 tech fall (5:40) victory over host-Bloomsburg's Grant Bond. In the semifinals, Perry used a late third-period takedown to slip past No. 3 Tejon Anthony (George Mason), 4-2.

 
In the finals, Perry took down top-seed Brock Zacherl of Clarion 5-3 in a thriller. The two had met twice early this season with Zacherl winning both times – 5-3 (at Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships) and 3-2 in the regular season dual.
