Lakeshore native Matty Bianchi has been named the Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week, marking the first weekly conference honor for the Arkansas-Little Rock wrestling program this season.
Bianchi, a Two Rivers High School grad, earned an 8-5 decision over the #18 wrestler in the country as the Trojans defeated nationally-ranked Stanford recently.
The redshirt freshman and the starter in the 157-pound weight class posted his first win in a Pac-12 dual and evened his season record at 9-and-9.
The wrestling talent runs in the family as the Little Rock program’s first-ever weekly conference honor was earned by older brother and current 149-pound starter Joseph Bianchi in January of 2022.
