ATHERTON, CA – Mikayla Lancaster has been named as this week's MPSF Women's Wrestler of the Week after a standout performance by earning a top six placement in the 160lb bracket of the Women's Connor Oppenheim Open.
 
Lancaster opened her day with a tough draw, facing the nation's #6 ranked NAIA wrestler, Aspen Barber of Doane. Lancaster would waste no time making a statement, scoring 10 points before earning the fall in under five minutes to advance. The sophomore followed with another pin in the next round, then battled through a tough 6-4 decision in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals. Although dropping her final two matches, Lancaster finished inside the top six at one of the premier tournaments of the season, leading a lineup filled with young, emerging talent.
 
It is the second honor for Lancaster and the eighth all-time for Menlo as a member of the MPSF.
