Aberdeen, S.D. – Northern State's Wyatt Turnquist (wrestling) and Lilly Grebner (women's swimming) have been named as the South Dakota Army National Guard Athletes of the Week for their athletic efforts last week.

Turnquist entered this weekend's NSIC duals ranked as the No. 11 wrestler in NCAA Division II at 149 pounds. On Friday he earned his third win of the season by fall in a victory over Isaac Ortega of (RV) Minot State in 3:52, prior to the pin Turnquist held an 8-0 lead thanks to a takedown, 4-point nearfall, and a reversal. On Sunday he then scored a 5-0 win by decision over Ethen Doty of No. 9 Upper Iowa, where after a scoreless first period he tallied a reversal in the second and added a takedown in the third before eventually earning the riding time point. With the wins Turnquist improved to 10-1 on the season and 4-0 in NSIC duals.

Grebner led Northern State to their second consecutive team-title at the Dragon Invite this past weekend, claiming five individual wins and was a member of one winning relay team. She scored event wins in the 50-yard butterfly (27.11), 100-yard butterfly (59.02), 50-yard breaststroke (32.00), 100-yard breaststroke (1:09.13), and the 200-yard IM (2:12.66). Her time of 27.11 in the 50-yard butterfly was a new season-best mark. As a member of the winning 400-yard freestyle relay (3:37.98), she swam the fastest time of any team member with a time of 53.38. Grebner also swam to a runner-up finish in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:32.76), and helped lead the Wolves to runner-up relay finishes in the 400-yard medley relay (4:12.71) and the 800-yard freestyle relay (8:23.55). Grebner now has a total of 21 individual wins and 23 individual top-3 finishes through nine meets this season.
