Undefeated at 12-0 with eight falls so far this season, McKillop, a red-shirt senior from Lower Burrell, Pa., had a fantastic two weeks.  He started with a pair of first period pins Thanksgiving week.  McKillop, ranked fourth in the country in his weight class, pinned East Stroudsburg's Brandan Steele at 1:21, then pinned George Mason's Luke Ludke at :48 in the "Grapple at the Garden" at Madison Square Garden.

He followed that up by winning the 184-lb. championship at the  Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships on Saturday.  The three-time Division II All-American posted a  4-0 record with 2 falls (:29, 1:00) a tech fall and a major decision – all against Division I opponents.  McKillop earned PSAC Championship Outstanding Wrestler honors for his performance.

The Super Region I Wrestler of the Week is a redshirt senior from Lower Burrell, Pa.
