Ivan Sanchez named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for Sept. 12-18

Ivan Sanchez (Santa Ana, Calif./Santa Ana College) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for Sept. 12-18.

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.

Sanchez, a redshirt freshman at Santa Ana College, won first collegiate competition Sept. 16 by compiling a perfect 4-0 record while leading his team to the title at the Mt. San Antonio College Dual Meet Tournament in California Community College competition.

Sanchez scored two falls and one technical fall leading up to the premier match of the night against Jimmy Valdivia of Cerritos College. Valdivia is a returning California Community College state finalist and the top-ranked 125-pound wrestler in the state. Sanchez scored the winning takedown in overtime to give him the 8-7 victory against Valdivia.

Sanchez is following in the footsteps of his older brother, Israel, who was an All-American for Santa Ana College in 2001.

Note: To nominate a wrestler for TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week, send the athlete's name, accomplishments for the week and career accomplishments to Craig Sesker at csesker@usawrestling.org
