Wrestler of the Week
Justin Jones, 125 lbs., Bloomsburg


Justin Jones delivered an undefeated weekend for the Bloomsburg wrestling team, posting a 5-0 record across the Journeymen Wranglemania duals and Journeymen Collegiate Classic in Bethlehem, PA. 

Jones earned two technical falls and a major decision among his five victories, helping the Huskies secure dominant dual-meet wins over Duke (41-0) and Sacred Heart (45-0) before sweeping his three contested bouts at Sunday's round-robin tournament to win the 125-pound Blue Bracket. 

Jones opened the weekend with a 19-3 technical fall over Sacred Heart's Corey Iannucci in 6:18 before earning an 8-0 major decision over Duke's Santi Ramirez. 

He carried that momentum into Sunday's Collegiate Classic, where he defeated Ramirez for the second consecutive day, 8-2, and edged Navy's Nikos Filipos, 2-1, in a second tiebreaker. Jones capped his undefeated weekend with a commanding 15-0 technical fall over Hofstra's Tommy Aiello in 4:38. Across his five victories, Jones surrendered just six total points while recording three bonus-point wins. He did not give up a takedown against him in his five matches over the weekend.
