GREENSBORO, N.C. - Mike Letts has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.
A senior captain for the Terps, Letts finished the regular season with three convincing wins, two of which came against ACC opponents.
Letts pinned Duke's Brett Klopp in less than three minutes in Saturday's 48-0 dual-match win before traveling down Tobacco Road to score a 21-8 technical fall against Colin Genthert to help the Terps top No. 24 NC State 35-5 and improve to 4-1 in the conference.
After being honored on Sunday's Senior Day festivities in College Park, Letts improved to 15-2 in dual meets this season by pinning George Mason's Aaron Keeton in just 1:59.
The Parkesburg, Pa., native has now won eight of his last nine matches and the Terps have won 11 of their last 12 dual meets.
Letts was also named Wrestler of the Week on Nov. 30 and Dec. 7, 2010.
