The Iowa Community College Athletic Association (ICCAC) has once again recognized a Panther wrestler for Athlete of the Week. 

Ellsworth's Dennis (Deejay) McNeal, a freshman from Stone Mountain, GA, won the 125-pound weight class at the Uwec Don Parker Open last Saturday. He started the tournament off with a pin that took just 31 seconds to complete. McNeal followed that up with a couple of decisions, 10-9 and 8-5 before taking down St. Cloud State's Brandon Betancourt in overtime for a 7-5 sudden victory.

McNeal and the Panthers will compete in the Central District Championships in Estherville on Sunday, Feb. 16.
