MIAA WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: Trey Dillow, 149 lbs., Central Missouri   
Trey Dillow had a dominant performance for the Central Missouri Mules, finishing atop the 149-pound podium at the Roger Denker Open this past weekend in Warrensburg. The unranked redshirt freshman went 4-0 in the event and capped his run with a 6-1 decision over No. 11-ranked Cole Mayfield of Central Oklahoma in the championship bout. Dillow also collected wins over Drury’s Garrett Salt (8-0 major decision), No. 12 Grandview’s Reid Foster (4-1 decision), and No. 1 Central Oklahoma’s Kasen Miller (8-1 decision). He was one of six Mules to finish first in the event.
