BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State's
Forrest Przybysz has been named the Southern Conference Wrestler of the Month for December.
Przybysz, a senior from Jefferson, Ga., had a 3-0 dual meet record at 174 pounds.
In an 18-14 victory at Ohio on Dec. 2, App State trailed 9-3 before Przybysz began a run of five straight wins with a 6-1 decision against Joe Terry. Przybysz earned a 10-4 decision against No. 5 NC State on Dec. 10, handing Daniel Bullard just his second loss of the season, and Przybysz claimed a 4-2 decision by sudden victory against 11th-ranked Yoanse Mejias of Oklahoma on Dec. 17.
That win via an overtime takedown helped propel Przybysz to No. 17 in the national rankings.
Heading into a SoCon matchup with Gardner-Webb on Jan. 10, Przybysz is 17-6 this season and 73-43 in his career.
