IRVING, Texas — South Dakota State 197-pounder Tanner Sloan was honored Tuesday as Big 12 Wrestler of the Week.

A junior from Alburnett, Iowa, Sloan posted a 3-0 record in dual competition over the weekend, starting with a 5-2 decision over fifth-ranked Rocky Elam of Missouri. The victory helped propel the Jackrabbits to their first-ever dual win over a top-10 team at the Division I level.

Sloan closed with weekend with a pair of first-period pins in a triangular at Southern Illinois Edwardsville and against Central Michigan. With his perfect weekend, the two-time NCAA qualifier improved to 11-4 overall this season, including a 5-1 mark in duals.

Sloan moved up in this week's national rankings, jumping nine spots to 12^th in the Intermat rankings and climbing to 21^st in the FloWrestling poll.

The Jackrabbits return to the mat Friday, hosting West Virginia in a Big 12 dual. Start time is 7 p.m. at Frost Arena.
