Dremiel Byers (Colorado Springs, Colo./U.S. Army) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for April 17-23.

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.

Byers earned a spot on his eighth straight World-level Greco-Roman wrestling team after capturing a title at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials on Saturday night in Iowa City.

Byers swept Steve Andrus in two straight matches to advance to August’s Olympic Games in London.

Byers has made the last two U.S. Olympic Teams and the last six U.S. World Teams.

He has won World gold, silver and bronze medals, and helped lead the U.S. to the 2007 World team title in Greco-Roman wrestling.

He is a member of the U.S. Army’s World Class Athlete Program.
