LAS VEGAS, N.M. – The Las Vegas, New Mexico, area Subway® restaurants and Manger Regina Denardo is pleased to announce that wrestling redshirt sophomore Luis Terrazas has been named the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday (Jan. 5).
 

Terrazas kept the hot start going for the Cowboys in a 35-15 win against Wayland Baptist with a last-second pin of Nik Gates at 197 pounds. After being taken down early in the first, Terrazas escaped quickly and turned it on forcing two stall calls Gates to get a point and set the tone for the rest of the match. 

Choosing down in the second, Luis gained a fast reversal and rode his opponent for the rest of the period. Though he was not able to secure any near fall points, he again stayed busy and dominated on top and got another stall point awarded. In the third, the Wayland wrestler chose down and Terrazas rode him tough, eventually turning and pinning the guy with 15 seconds left in the match to secure the win and bonus points. Highlands led 15-0.

New for the 2014-2015 school year, a Subway® Student-Athlete of the Week will be chosen every week for the athletic year. Every student-athlete chosen for the weekly award will be eligible to win the Subway Eat Fresh® Student-Athlete of the Year award following the 2014-2015 academic year. While the weekly award will be based on athletic prowess, the yearly award will be bestowed upon an athlete based on success not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom and community involvement.
