TEMPE, Ariz. – Kyle Parco's collegiate resume grows by the day.
After a pair of big wins this weekend against Jordan Williams (Oklahoma State), in which he notched career win No. 100, and No. 26 Nash Singleton (Oregon State), the redshirt junior has been named the Pac-12 Conference Wrestler of the Week.
Since returning to the Sun Devil lineup in mid-January, Parco has tallied a four-match win streak. He's defeated Kyle Dutton (Little Rock), Finn Solomon (Pittsburgh), Jordan Williams (Oklahoma State) and Nash Singleton (Oregon State).

Widely regarded as one of the top wrestlers in his 149-pound weight class, Parco is currently listed at No. 3 by FloWrestling. The Danville, California, native was enjoying a stellar start to the 2023-24 season, sporting an 11-2 record, before an injury forced him to miss a pair of duals to begin the new year.
He's certainly looked the part of a three-time NCAA All-American since rejoining the Sun Devils.

ON WINNING HIS 100th CAREER MATCH
"I think it just validates my career as a veteran. Getting your hand raised 100 times is something that I never really thought about. But, if you told me when I was a kid that I would get 100 in college, I wouldn't believe it. I'm really happy, but I want to build off of that."
Parco and the No. 12 Sun Devils are back in action this week, heading to Cal Poly to visit the Mustangs at the Mott Athletics Center on Friday, February 9 (8 p.m. AZT).
