Chris Skretkowicz (Hamburg, N.J./Hofstra) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for the week of November 23-29. Each week, TheMat.com will select an Athlete of the Week, based upon performance within wrestling for that week. The selection committee will consider any level of wrestling, from youth programs through the Senior level. The announcement will be made each week on Wednesday. Skretkowicz, a senior 197-pounder at Hofstra, upset two-time NCAA finalist Jon Trenge of Lehigh 4-3 in a weekend dual meet. The win propelled Hofstra to an upset of its own by defeating the second-ranked team in the nation 23-10. Also this season, Skretkowicz has defeated Sean Stender of Northern Iowa, a 2004 NCAA All-American. He is currently 6-1 on the season. Skretkowicz is a three-time NCAA Tournament qualifier. He placed fifth at the NCAA Tournament last year and sixth in 2003. He has a career record of 109-20. Skretkowicz will lead Hofstra at the Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational this weekend.
