OLIVET, Mich. -- Olivet College junior wrestler Trevor Tyler, of Roscommon, has been named the Comet of the Week honors for Feb. 28.

Wrestling at 174 pounds, Tyler won his weight class and helped the Comets win the team title at the 2011 NCAA Division III Midwest Regional Feb. 26 at Wabash (Ind.) College.
