NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- North Central sophomore Cody Baldridge was selected as the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Wrestler of the Week on Tuesday. 

A native of Morris, Illinois and Morris High School, Baldridge helped lead the Cardinals to a 22-15 dual meet victory over the University of Chicago on Wednesday. He picked up a 6-4 decision against all-American Ben Sarasin at 184 pounds as Sarasin came into the match 15-0 on the season and was ranked fourth in the nation. This was a bounce-back win for Baldridge, who lost to Sarasin earlier this season at the Super 8 Invitational on November 8.
