Chas Betts (St. Michael, Minn./USOEC/Minnesota Storm) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for July 7-13.

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.

Betts earned praise from United States Greco-Roman coaches for his determination, focus, work ethic and willingness to learn during the team's World Team Camp last week at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Betts and his six teammates on the U.S. World Team took part in the camp.

Betts has made his first U.S. World Team at 84 kg/185 lbs. He will compete at the World Championships this September in Herning, Denmark.

Betts, a product of the highly successful U.S. Olympic Education Center program at Northern Michigan University, is a past World University silver medalist.

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
