(INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 17) – McKendree University men's wrestler Marcus Povlick (Plainfield, IL/Plainfield North) has been named as the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Wrestler of the Week, the conference office announced earlier this Tuesday.
 
The senior helped lead the Bearcats to their second-consecutive team victory at the Midwest Classic in Indianapolis this past weekend in Indianapolis by taking first in the 125-lb bracket. En route to his bracket victory, Povlick went 5-0 with two major decisions. This is Povlick's first GLVC WOTW honor and is the second honor of the year for McKendree after Ryan Vasbinder (Grand Rapids, MI/Grandville) received the Wrestler of the Week nod on November 26.
 
You can catch Povlick and the men's wrestling team back in action after the holiday break on January 10 when the Bearcats travel down to Louisville, Kentucky to compete in the National Wrestling Coaches (NWCA) National Duals.
