BRISTOL, Tenn. –
Viktorya Torres had a big month for the second-ranked King University women's wrestling team. She helped the Tornado secure a second straight National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NWCA) National Duals title, leading to another honor from the NWCA. She was selected Region 2 Wrestler of the Month for the month of January.
Torres wins her first NWCA Region 2 Wrestler of the Month award after going 7-0 in January. She was instrumental in King's NWCA National Duals championship as she went 4-0 at the event, including three pins, two over ranked opponents. The first pin came over eighth-ranked Lana Perez of Gannon University in 3:31 before Torres then flipped the championship dual with a 5:26 pin of second-ranked Yele Aycock of North Central College.
Her other pin at the event came over McKendree's Jennifer Soto in 2:04 in the semifinals. That pin gave King momentum as the Tornado went on to take the championship 23-21. She then won the Tornado open, going 3-0 with a pair of technical fall wins and a pin in 44 seconds.
Torres is now eligible for NWCA National Wrestler of the Month that will be announced on Monday.
