    Johnson named SoCon Wrestler of the Week

    SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Demetrius Johnson, a wrestler at Chattanooga, has been honored as the Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week for February 10.

    The sophomore from Memphis, Tenn., is majoring in criminal justice and has a 3.42 GPA. He finished the fall semester with a 4.0 GPA and earned Dean's List honors.

    Johnson recorded a win in each of Chattanooga's two victories during the weekend.

    In the 30-9 win against Appalachian State, Johnson pinned his opponent at the 4:53 mark to give the Mocs a 12-0 lead after three matches. With the victory, Chattanooga clinched at least a tie of the Southern Conference championship, the team's sixth straight.

    Against Northern Iowa, Johnson posted a 3-1 overtime win, which ended a two-match slide for UTC and pulled the Mocs within three points of the Panthers. Chattanooga went on to win 16-15.

    Johnson is 17-8 this season and a perfect 4-0 in league action.

    Other nominees included Davidson wrestler Alex Radsky, UNC Greensboro men's track & field runner Joey Thompson and Western Carolina women's basketball player Kristen Feemster.
