Ferrari Nabs Second Pac-12 Weekly Honor

SAN RAMON, Calif. – For the second time this season, Cal State Bakersfield's AJ Ferrari has been selected as the Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week. The Roadrunners now have four weekly honors on the season, tied with Cal Poly for most in the Pac-12, as Ferrari extended his perfect record to 9-0 this past week.

Ferrari, the No. 1 ranked 197 pounder in the country, was once again unblemished, going 4-0 at the NWCA National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He opened the tournament against Andrew Donahue from No. 12 Northern Colorado, earning a dominant major decision (17-4). Ferrari went on to a 10-4 decision over Ibrahim Ameer (Drexel), a tech fall over Donovan Sprouse (George Mason), and a 93-second pin against SIUE's Nick Nosler (2024 U20 US Open Greco National Champion).

Ferrari's 6-point fall pulled CSUB within two points of SIUE, setting up Bakersfield's heavyweight to clinch the match in the final bout with a decision. Known as Mr. Fast Twitch on social media, Ferrari has now won 29-straight collegiate matches and he is 39-1 all-time.

The `Runners will continue the 2024-25 season at the 4th Annual Chippewa Challenge, Jan. 25, hosted by American in Washington, D.C.
