COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Chadron State men's wrestling made it two consecutive RMAC Wrestlers of the Week, with 184-pounder Keegan Gehlhausen earning the latest honor from the conference office on Tuesday.

After injuries slowed Gehlhausen in the early part of the RMAC season, the reigning national runner-up has been victorious in all four RMAC duals he has competed in. This past week, the redshirt senior took his dominance to a new level with performances against Western Colorado and Colorado Mesa. 

Last Thursday, Gehlhausen pinned WCU's Erik Anderson in just 1:22. The fall was a vital six-pointer for Chadron State in what wound up being a narrow loss to the Mountaineers, but Gehlhausen's bonus-point result flipped momentum as the Eagles turned a 17-7 deficit after seven matches into an 18-17 lead after nine matches. 

On Saturday against Colorado Mesa, Gehlhausen handled the Mavericks' Noah O'Dougherty 17-4 for a major decision win. Gehlhausen tallied five takedowns plus the riding time point, scoring at least one takedown in all three periods, and only allowed O'Dougherty to score on escapes. 

Gehlhausen is 12-2 this season and is a perfect 5-0 in duals and 5-0 against RMAC wrestlers. With this award, Gehlhausen has taken home an RMAC Wrestler of the Week award in two consecutive seasons after previously winning on November 26, 2024. 

He is the fourth Chadron State wrestler to win the conference's weekly award in 2025-26, joining Quade Smith (November 11), Hunter Jacobsen (November 18) and reigning winner Mason Villwok (February 3). Chadron State's four winners this season are the most in the league – no other school has more than two.

The Eagles are idle until the NCAA regional tournament on November 28 in Golden, Colorado, where Gehlhausen will seek to defend his regional title from 2024-25.
