Jimmy Chase (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for June 1-7.

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.

Chase beat Mango in the finals of the U.S. Junior World Team Trials at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Chase won the first match over Mango 5-0, 1-0. Mango came back to claim the second bout 2-0, 1-0. Chase then won the decisive third match 3-0, 1-3, 1-0.
