Dany Hedin (Honolulu, Hawaii/U.S. Olympic Education Center) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for the week of May 2-8.

Each week, TheMat.com will select an Athlete of the Week, based upon performance within wrestling for that week. The selection committee will consider any level of wrestling, from youth programs through the Senior level. The announcement will be made each week on Wednesday.

Hedin was named Outstanding Wrestler at the FILA Junior Nationals on May 6. She won the 121-pound title during the Body Bar Women's Nationals at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Hedin, who competes for the New York Athletic Club, rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 technical fall over Samantha Schuman of Missouri Valley College in the finals of the FILA Junior Nationals.

Hedin won FILA Junior Nationals for the third straight year. She also was Outstanding Wrestler of the event in 2004.
