BOONE, N.C. — App State's Jonathan Millner has been named the Southern Conference Wrestler of the Week following his second straight individual title to open the 2019-20 season.
A sophomore from Greensboro, Millner improved to 9-0 on the season as he took first place with a 5-0 mark in the 149-pound division of the Wolfpack Open in Raleigh. That performance followed a title run at the Mountaineer Invitational in Boone the previous weekend.
Millner rallied for a comeback win in the championship round for the second straight weekend, as he posted a 16-8 major decision against Virginia Tech's Bryce Adonian after falling behind 6-0 in the first 33 seconds and trailing 8-4 early in the second period.
