Olivet College’s Guilford selected MIAA Wrestler of the Week

FREELAND, Mich. – Olivet College freshman Owen Guilford has been selected the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Wrestler of the Week. He is the third Olivet wrestler to earn MIAA Wrestler of the Week honors during the 2019-20 season.

Guilford posted a 5-0 record last week, including a 4-0 record Jan. 18 to win the 165-pound title at the Alma College Open. He started his week by winning a 9-5 decision over Owen Conklin to help the Comets defeat Trine (Ind.) University, 38-6, in a MIAA dual match. At the Alma Open, Guilford won his first match by major decision, 17-3, and followed that with three straight decisions, 9-4, 5-1 and 10-6.

The Comets host Alma College Thursday night in its final MIAA dual match. With a win, Olivet would clinch the 2020 MIAA title.
