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.
Ragan swept 2012 Olympian Kelsey Campbell to win the U.S. World Team Trials women’s freestyle finals on June 13 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis.
