CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State redshirt senior Maximo Renteria has been named the Pac-12 Conference’s Wrestler of the Week, it was announced Tuesday. 

Renteria is the first wrestler from the conference to be recognized twice this season, and it comes after he picked up a 6-2 decision over No. 25 Blake West in the Beavers’ 28-12 victory over Northern Illinois on Friday.

Renteria and West battled to a scoreless first period and the Beaver grappler went up 3-1 thanks to a takedown following an escape from West. Renteria went up 5-1 thanks to a third-period reversal and following a West escape, he picked up the 6-2 win, adding riding time.

The Clovis, Calif., native improved to 13-1 on the year and he’s competed in five consecutive bouts against ranked foes, going 4-1.

The Beavers next compete in the Midlands Championships Dec. 29 and 30 in Evanston, Ill. Oregon State returns home Jan. 4 to host Ohio State at 2 p.m. PT – tickets can be purchased by visiting BeaverTickets.com.
