Adin Duenas (Gilroy, Calif./Cal State Fullerton) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for Feb. 23-March 1.

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 fourth-seeded Duenas was named Outstanding Wrestler after winning the Pac-10 Conference Championships at 141 pounds on Feb. 28 in Davis, Calif.

Duenas knocked off No. 1 seed Levi Jones of Boise State 3-1 in overtime in the semifinals before he downed No. 2 seed Filip Navachkov of Cal Poly 9-3 in the finals.

Duenas, a junior, qualified for the 2009 NCAAs after placing third in the Pac-10 tournament.
