Redshirt senior Jonathan Millner was named 2022 Southern Conference Wrestler of the Year by the league’s head coaches Thursday. A returning All-American, Millner becomes the second Mountaineer in two years to win the honor, following Will Formato in 2021.
Millner amassed a 16-1 record this season and was named SoCon Wrestler of the Month for January. His lone loss was against fellow All-American No. 8 Kyle Parco at the Mountaineer Invitational in November.
He finished 7-0 in conference duals, extending his career SoCon record to a perfect 22-0. Ranked No. 4 at 149 pounds by the NCAA Coaches Panel, he finishes as the highest ranked wrestler in the conference.
