SPARTANBURG, S.C. – VMI’s Dyson Dunham has been named the Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week for all competition from Jan. 17-23. The selection is made by the league office.

Dunham earned a 7-4 decision over nationally 28th-ranked Blake Boarman, giving VMI three team points in a hard-fought 31-13 loss to Chattanooga last Sunday. Dunham earned a takedown in the first period, logged an escape in the second, then won the bout by registering a late takedown in the final minute of the third period to earn the win.

The Keydets will return to the mat on Sunday (Jan. 28), when the team squares off against The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina.
