P's Time as an Oak

During her time at Menlo, Weiser established herself as one of the program's top performers. In her sophomore season in 2017-18, she posted a 22-6 record at 170 pounds, the best mark in the weight class for the Oaks. She scored 177 points, recorded 69 takedowns and secured nine victories by pinfall. Weiser also delivered one of just four five-point takedowns recorded by Menlo that season, showcasing her ability to generate momentum and score big.

Weiser's sophomore campaign culminated in her first All-American honor at Menlo, earning a fifth-place finish at 170 pounds at the national championships. Her accomplishments with the Oaks helped lay the foundation for a career that has continued to reach new heights, now bringing her to the sport's premier international stage.

As she prepares to make her Senior World Championships debut, Weiser will carry the experience gained throughout her career into competition against the world's best. Menlo Athletics congratulates Precious on earning the opportunity to represent Team USA and wishes her the best of luck in Kazakhstan.
